Jesses's place was better than pics! It was superbly clean and actually very spacious room. There was a desk, drawers, nice sofa/fouton, reclining chair, great A/C, and bunch of extra towels and linens--I mean he had the works! The place was very updated--really nice touches! The place is great for couples or a few friends. Although, Jesse wasn't there the entire time (7 days) I was able to communicate with him. Which was okay with me, actually, I felt like I had a condo to myself. :D The only negative thing for me was the area. It is located in East Harlem, and it was a bit sketch in my opinion. I had never been to NY, and I am not going to lie, I would not walk alone at night. Although I will say, my husband and I did a lot of walking there during the day and early evenings, but if we went out at night we used Uberpool. I was just a scaredy-cat. But this is out of Jesses's control. Otherwise the apt itself is overall better than I expected!
