About the apartment: I have a beautiful and spacious third-floor 2-bedroom apartment in south Harlem (extremely close to the Upper West Side) in which I rent out one room on a regular basis to responsible and mature adults who'd like a really incredible place to stay while visiting Manhattan but think that paying $350 a night for a really bad hotel is just crazy! (It is, right??)

About me: I'm a really easy going, professional, chilled out 30 year old guy that loves to host visitors and make them feel at home. I'm pretty busy, so a lot of times you will have the apartment all to yourself. All I ask from you is that you're clean, polite and respectful. In turn, I guarantee you an extremely comfortable space in which you will feel completely at home and welcome.

Your stay includes an air-conditioned/heated private room (with a lockable door), fresh and SOFT Restoration Hardware towels, FREE Wi-Fi, access to the TV connected to Netflix & Hulu Plus (for free movies and TV shows!), plenty of DVDs, an in-room mini fridge stocked with water and anything else you'd like for breakfast (feel free to request and I'll do my best!), and an in-room personal Keurig coffee/tea service for your enjoyment. The bed has a VERY comfortable queen size mattress with always clean and fresh 800 thread count sheets/pillows. There is also a desk, armoire and a huge closet with hangers for your use.

You're wanting to stay with me by now right? But wait, there's more.......

My apartment sits in the middle of two train lines........ One block away from both the 2/3 express train and the B/C train. Basically that means 10 minutes to Times Square, 15 minutes to Chelsea or the West Village and 20 minutes to Wall Street or Brooklyn. The bus that stops right outside the apartment will also take you down 5th Ave to the museum district in about 15 minutes. Both Central Park and Columbia are a 5 minute walk away. The apartment is easy to get to from any airport by cab, or by subway through Penn Station, Port Authority or Grand Central.

There's a gourmet grocery one block away if you want to eat at home, or plenty of cool restaurants in the neighborhood to eat at or order from (I'll be happy to give you suggestions on this!) Also free parking if you're bringing a car.

One more thing.......I love wine. You probably will be offered a glass or two while you're here, please feel free to say no. But also feel free to say yes! =) Looking forward to meeting you and helping you have a wonderful time in NYC!

  • Cordial, courteous, and helpful are just a few words to describe Jason. My stay was amazing. I've stayed at a few difference places in NYC through Airbnb and this was the best experience to date. The aparatment is gorgeous and spacioius. It's less than a block from the bus that takes you down 5th Ave and only a few block from the subway. I was able to get from his place into Midtown and the UES within 20 minutes using the bus vs. approx.45 minutes with two connections using the subway. You won't find a better apartment or frankly a better hotel around. It sits in the back of the building so the street noise is significantly less and it sits above a quaint private garden which ties the entire ambiance together nicely. It would be impossible to be unhappy staying with Jason.

  • My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying with Jason. He was able to accomodate us at the last minute, and even provided an iron to help me to get ready for an important meeting. His apartment is spotless, beautiful and very conveniently located. I will definitely stay with Jason again the next time I'm in New York.

  • Jason was great! His place was clean and 1 block from the express 2, 3 subway. He was also super flexible and easy to coordinate with. We really appreciated the healthy breakfast each morning. Thanks for being a great host!

  • Look no further for a place to stay in NYC. As nice as the pictures are, it still doesn't do the apartment justice. It is a fantastic property, in a fantastic location. There is a large comfy bedroom, big bathroom and all in all is very stylish. It is like a great boutique hotel at a fraction of the cost. The area has a nice community feel and you are only moments away from the express train which will have you in the thick of the action in very little time at all. Even if you are not on a budget this should be the place you choose, it is very clean, peaceful. A lot better than a hotel slap bang in the middle where all you have is noise and people trying to sell you things as soon as you step out the door. We had a great time in New York and that was only made better by the apartment and Jason. He is a brilliant host and be sure to ask him if you are looking for some great food and hangout spots. I can't recommend this place enough. Jason, if I visit New York again, I will not hesitate book with you. Thank you for having us, Laurence and Melanie

    Great place to stay, great host. Will definitely be staying there again.

  • Jason is an exceptional host. He replies quickly and is so helpful, he even posted more pictures for me to see! We were in contact from before the airport and he offered suggestions on different ways to arrive. He'd be a gem if you're not familiar with NY. He is right above central park but my grandma and I had no trouble doing the quick walk to the train. Last but not least, his place is beautifully furnished and the bed was SO comfortable which is a relief after walking NY all day.

  • Jason is friendly and accommodating. His apartment is beautiful and clean, the room is large, and he even gets breakfast items for his guests. Dude rules.

  • If there was one word to rate Jason, then its "Excellent". A superb host and you will feel as his own special guest. I had to arrive 2 hours late from my check-in appointment, and despite that he had something to do, he waited for me till I arrived. Jason communicates very promptly and when it comes to NYC, he is a very useful and helpful source to get around. The room was very clean, quite, private and comfortable. Street parking was so easy and free. The building is also nice, safe and clean but no fancy entrances or lobbies (one of those typical NYC apartment buildings). The location gives you easy access to the subway stations too. Would I come back again or recommend this place to somebody (who is not looking to pay a fortune at Manhattan's Hotels)? Of course, I would come back and would recommend Jason. Wish you enjoy NYC

    Jason was truly the best host! I wasn't sure when I would arrive since I was driving up from Orlando, FL. He checked on me throughout my trip and even allowed me to book an extra night since I made excellent time. The apartment was the most stylish and spacious place. The pictures do not give it justice. You will feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door. Beautiful room, plenty of specialty coffee and delicious breakfast to start the day. Highly recommend booking Jason's place. He's amazing! His place is located near public transportation for easy ways to get around the city. This is a steal of a deal for the city!

  • We spent 6 nights at Jason's, and would choose his place again if we went back to NYC :) Great location, less than 5 minutes by walk to the express subway. The apartment is so nice, and the room very clean and comfortable. And last, but not least, we were so happy to meet Jason, who is the best host you we could hope to meet during our holiday! So helpful and friendly, he even found us tickets for an awesome musical at a very good price! We had a great great time in NYC, and Jason was definitely part of it! Thank you Jason!
