Jay has the warmest smile and is very responsive and friendly. Great host! The room is on the fourth floor of a walk up half a block from the 116th Street subway station. (So Convenient!) As he was carrying my suitcase up while I was following him up the stairs, he said "You get used to it." I realized 2 days later, he was right! The private room has a dresser with lots of drawers, and a window with great natural light. I found the bed very comfortable. As a mature female traveling alone, I felt safe in the neighborhood, and in the apartment. It was very convenient for my sight seeing and Broadway adventures. I would stay again.
