Jay was a great host! Room, bathroom, kitchen and the rest of the apartment were very clean. Jay was very helpful suggesting some great places to eat and ways to get the most out of our trip to NYC on a budget. Almost like having a concierge for a roommate.
He even invited us out dancing in Hoboken with some of his friends....but our old legs were too tired after a day trekking through the city.
Neighborhood was East Harlem. Speaking Spanish helps. Not far from the subway but make sure to save a little energy for the end of the day since it is a fourth floor walkup. Also, no view, but what do you expect at this price.
Overall, a great experience with a great host for a great price!
