Jen’s place exceeded my expectations by far. She really goes out of her way to make sure your stay is exemplary. The room is incredibly roomy, even for 2 people (especially by city standards). She provides a beautiful welcome basket with lots of snacks, wine, tea etc and local guides as well as books. Another basket of toiletries is also available for use. She has a great closet and full length mirror. I was staying with my mom so it was great to have a place to store our items as well as the mirror which facilitated us with getting ready. The room has nice windows with a street view where plenty of light comes in as well as an air conditioning unit where you can regulate the temperature for the room. The towels, bedding, mattress and pillows are incredibly plush and extremely comfortable. There’s absolutley no skimping or cutting corners here. Jen has two dogs but they are kept in her room when guests are at home. The rest of the house is spotless too. The bathroom is shared but we never had a problem with that. Jen is a lovely host we ended up having a family emergency and having to cut our trip short and she helped facilitate checking out and was incredibly helpful and flexible with the entire process. Her apartment is close to 2 different metro lines which is also very convenient. This might be the best place to stay in NYC!
