Reviews

  • Reviewer: Ethan

    Comments: Jason's place was exactly what I needed for my trip to NYC. Jason is very communicative and I felt everything was direct. I felt super comfortable in the room too. I will always remember how hospitable and at home I felt at this booking. Thanks again!

  • Reviewer: Sara

    Comments: I needed a place to stay for two nights and Jason's apartment was perfect for my needs. Communication was impeccable and he and his mom were very present and went out of their way to welcome me and make my stay truly special. They really spoiled me! Made me dinner the first night when I arrived very late and drove me to a class I had to take! Very kind. :)

  • Reviewer: Linn

    Comments: Such a wonderful place to stay. Made me feel right and home and went all out making me feel welcome, including letting me drop off my stuff early and even offering me food and a ride. The very best of Airbnb experiences.

  • Reviewer: Dmitry

    Comments: Cozy, friendly, convenient

  • Reviewer: Jamison

    Comments: Jason and his mother were very kind hosts. However, it was very unclear to me when my check-out time was and I was rushed to leave. Also the listing is not as close to the rest of the city that it says it is. I would not stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Mohamed

    Comments: Nice and clean room in a very walkable and safe neighborhood. It is close to subway and bus stations. Jason made sure checking in was smooth and easy. Jason's mom was very nice. She made us dinner on the day I checked in. I really appreciated the hospitality I am even staying for one more week :)

  • Reviewer: Mohamed

    Comments: I enjoyed staying at Jason's place. It's clean and close to the bus and subway station. And it's priced right.

  • Reviewer: George

    Comments: Jason's place was wonderful! Both him and his mother went above and beyond my expectations and I felt very welcome! The room itself was simple and clean with a comfortable bed and a powerful air conditioner! Jason gave me lots of recommendations for activities, and his mother cooked me breakfast and even sang a song for me. The house has a great vibe. The neighbourhood is pretty nice, not fancy but plenty of takeaway food options. You'll have to travel a couple of stops on the subway for the nicer bars and restaurants. Getting into Manhattan is super easy, just hop on the F! Takes only around 35 minutes to get to Times Square. Overall a really nice stay!

  • Reviewer: Thomas

    Comments: Great place. Very clean. Easy access to subway. Communication was excellent!

  • Reviewer: Facundo

    Comments: Jason and Helen are great hosts. The communication was excellent from the beginning. The place is very clean, tidy and cozy. They always helped me with anything I needed. Helen made me very good breakfasts whenever she could and Jason gave me really good recommendations about different places to go in NYC and nice restaurants. I really felt very comfortable with them from day one. If I’d come back to NY I would go with them for sure. The neighborhood is quiet and safe (even in the late night, I always went back between 11pm and 2am and I never had a problem or felt unsafe). The locations is relatively near to Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery, F and G trains (Church Avenue), which is very convenient as you can get to Manhattan in approx. 20 or 30min. depending on where you go. If you’re looking for a good place and reliable people to stay with in Brooklyn, don’t waste more time, go with them.

  • Reviewer: Lawrence

    Comments: Located pretty close to subway as described. Hosts were friendly and super accommodating; they gave suggestions on places to check out and even prepared food occasionally. Great people, great stay.

  • Reviewer: Monique

    Comments: They were so accommodating and helpful. I was very happy with everything. I'll definitely consider staying there again on my next trip to Brooklyn.

  • Reviewer: Shuo

    Comments: I had a great stay at Jason's place. Everything went smoothly. The place is conveniently located and very clean, especially the renovated bathroom. Jason was very quick and to respond to messages and communicated clearly. His mum was super sweet!

  • Reviewer: Cj

    Comments: Great stay! They made me breakfast everything morning, super attentive.

  • Reviewer: Valecia

    Comments: This space is as described, and very quiet. I did not interact with Jason much but his mother was absolutely wonderful. She made sure I had all I needed during check-in and provided breakfast. Jason was very communicative. Prior to check-in, the continued requests for updates were a bit overwhelming for me, as I was travelling, but he was very helpful during my stay and provided me with suggestions for activities and even gave me a portable charger to borrow! Would recommend if you plan to be on the go and need a comfortable, clean place to stay, as this room is an excellent value. Also, the Wi-Fi is great.

  • Reviewer: Vadim

    Comments: I had a great stay at Jason's and his mom home. The place is clean, cozy, and conveniently located close to subway station as listed. Mom made me welcome breakfast on the first day and great pork with noodles before my leave. Jason also provided me the best routes to commute within the city. I was feeling calm and relaxed. Thank you Jason and mom :)

  • Reviewer: Carina

    Comments: My stay in Brooklyn with Jason and his Mom was very pleasant. Check in, communication and everything was very easy. The apartment is very clean and he and his mother were great hosts. It took about five minutes to the subway and in the neighborhood were all kinds of stores for daily needs. Only thing to say is that in the room there is no window, the AC is very good, though. All in all, a great place to stay.

  • Reviewer: Leysan

    Comments: This was an extraordinary lovely place to stay: clean, happy atmosphere and close to subway. nothing more to wish. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Emma

    Comments: I enjoyed my stay here! On arrival, Helen made me dinner and we spent some time exchanging songs and playing the piano. Jason was full of great local advice and whenever I had a question or query he could not have been more helpful. Really efficient communication as well. If you're someone who wants a quiet place to stay, this will suit you well - definitely not a party venue which suits me down to the ground as I'm generally looking for a quiet place to sleep. The air con in the room works great too - it was quite warm while I was in New York so that helped a lot! The place is really close to subway where can get the F line that runs you into Manhattan. Typically I was spending a lot of time in Midtown or the lower east side, so you're looking about 40mins door to door for most places in Manhattan. I'd recommend downloading the Citymapper app when traveling anywhere - this'll also help you to take the shortest route to the station. While I wouldn't describe this as being a very trendy part of Brooklyn, there is no shortage of food shops and take aways nearby (and Jason again made good recommendations for this too). It's a bit dimly lit at night but as someone who made the trip at all hours of the morning solo, I felt pretty safe. The area is also really diverse which is always a plus :D Thank you so much Jason and Helen x

  • Reviewer: Dom

    Comments: If you are looking to stay in Kensington, this is the place to go! The apartment is spotless clean and host very nice and helpful. It is also priced reasonably for the area. Jason gave me great and accurate tips on local restaurants. Helen was wonderful and I had the honor of listening to her sing.

  • Reviewer: Swarnava

    Comments: I highly recommend Jason's place if you are making a short trip to NYC. Very convenient from nearby subway stations.

  • Reviewer: Fangyi

    Comments: Jason and his mother are so kind. Their home is pretty tidy. You will get a great value deal if you choose their place! 另外,他们也可以讲中文,对自己英文没信心的话,这所民宿也是一个不错的选择。

  • Reviewer: Ben

    Comments: Excellent value and nice people. Highly recommended. I’ll certainly stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Gabs

    Comments: Jason's place is exactly as described. Very clean and quiet. Close to public transit.

  • Reviewer: Spencer

    Comments: Jason and his mother were excellent hosts, they were extremely communicative and replied to my questions promptly. The apartment was spotless and featured beautiful wood floors throughout. The room was quiet as it isn't near a street and located in an intererior room within the second floor apartment. The bed was comfortable and had a cozy duvet. A closet to hang clothes and small table and chair were in the room. Two F subway stations were a quick walk away and Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn were half an hour away by train. I would definitely stay again as the price was a bargain. They suggested a wonderful Asian restaurant my last evening which turned out to be excellent.

  • Reviewer: Erin

    Comments: Super close to the subway. Helen was very kind.

  • Reviewer: Yashita

    Comments: Jason and Helen are the perfect hosts. Warm and welcoming but not overbeari g

  • Reviewer: Sushma Anand

    Comments: The host and his mom are very caring. Very responsive. I felt comfortable. First day, I was rather skeptical as it was my first experience being at airbnb. By second day, I felt very comfortable. The hosts are very cordial, responsive and generous. They make sure you are completely comfortable. Subway is 8-10 mins distance. It is better to commute by uber pool if weather is too cold like I faced on one of the Days. The park near Brooklyn is great, which was suggested by the host.

  • Reviewer: Reynolds

    Comments: Helen and Jason were great hosts. Helen went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable.

  • Reviewer: Nathaniel

    Comments: Jason and Helen were lovely to stay with. They showed great hospitality and are kind and thoughtful hosts. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Mohanad

    Comments: It was a nice place , friendly host , quiet and clean.

  • Reviewer: Salin

    Comments: Excellent place for budget traveller. It's located in a relatively safe and quiet neighborhood with shops that stay open after 10pm. The host is hospitable.

  • Reviewer: Linda

    Comments: Jason and Helen provide a warm welcome for their guests and go out of their way to be accommodating. Clean, quiet and simple space. My guestroom was in the interior of the apt and did not have a window, but it did have a ceiling fan and was airy enough and cozy and comfortable. The mattress was firmer than most, but I slept very well. Very easy commute to Lower Manhattan by subway.

  • Reviewer: Yoshiko

    Comments: It's awesome place.Especially his mother took care of a lots for me!I could really enjoy this trip. Just the private room doesn't have window, so it might be difficult to wake up if you're not good at it.But it's only small thing.

  • Reviewer: Claudio

    Comments: Just a super host! Helene Jason’s mother and Jason himself. Sure I will stay with them next time in New York

  • Reviewer: Игорь

    Comments: Жильё полностью соответствует описанию, чисто, уютно, отлично подойдёт для отдыха и выспаться. Я доволен пребыванием у Джейсона на 100%.

  • Reviewer: Allen

    Comments: I very much enjoyed my 2 week stay with Jason and his mom. They were very kind and made me feel right at home. I will definitely book with them for my return visit next year.

  • Reviewer: Riri

    Comments: Jason and his mom Helen were very helpful. I asked the early check-in and they were kindly letting me with breakfast! Thanks so much and enjoyed the stay.

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: The place was really clean and Jason’s mom was such a sweet lady! Definitely recommend this to everyone. :)

  • Reviewer: Vyasakumar

    Comments: Room was comfortable, has a fan, small desk and closet space. Jason’s mom was very hospitable, provided a nice dinner on the day of arrival.

  • Reviewer: Liam

    Comments: Jason and his mum are very kind and the hospitality is great- his mum offered to cook me breakfast in the morning which was a very nice touch! Place is clean and in a really good, safe location!

  • Reviewer: Emily Hee-Kyung

    Comments: I liked everything about my stay. The room doesn't have a window, which I loved, there's no single light when kind. She prepared food for me when I had to leave early in the morning. How lovely... anyway, clean room and bathroom. close to Church Ave subway station, G and F line. you will have to walk a little to get varieties of food but it's doable.

  • Reviewer: Ben

    Comments: I’ve stayed at Jason’s several times. He and his mother are excellent hosts. The room is spartan but scrupulously clean and very good value. I’ll certainly be back.

  • Reviewer: Carlos

    Comments: Great place for the price. Helen is super friendly and helpful. Jason even wait for me at 9pm for checking. Absolutely will stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Ariel

    Comments: This is a great place to stay. Not only Jason and Helen are great, location is very convenient and the value can't be beaten. Helen kept offering food, which was not expected but appreciated. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Ariel

    Comments: Great place and great people!

  • Reviewer: Claudio

    Comments: This is my third time at Jason and Hellen house as always for me perfect

  • Reviewer: Phoebe

    Comments: A great little gem! The room and bathroom were spotless (which is always my number one priority). Other info: the apartment’s on the second floor of a townhouse (I didn’t have a lot of luggage but that might be helpful for some to know). The bathroom (and kitchen) is in a little hallway that’s separated from the main living areas which is nice so I didn’t feel like I was disturbing too much if I came home to take a shower late. I really appreciated that they let me leave my luggage for a few hours after I checked out. Overall, seamless and great experience. Really enjoyed Jason and Helen’s hospitality.

  • Reviewer: Travis

    Comments: Jason and his Mom are great hosts! I loved staying with them while visiting NYC. Helen (his Mom) cooked a great meal for me on arrival and even shared her passion for music. It was a very warm welcome to the area. I can't wait to return to NYC!

  • Reviewer: Valerie

    Comments: Jason’s place is really good value for money, I felt safe and welcome there. Everything was clean, I commuted easily with the subway and buses to various parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The room was quiet and the fact that it has no window helped me sleep better and recover quicker from jetlag. And the most enjoyable part of this experience was meeting Helen, a wonderful woman who tries her best to make you feel welcome and even cooks for you! She's very generous and caring. And she sings beautifully!

  • Reviewer: Cristina

    Comments: Jason and his mother are awsome! She cooked me lunch & breakfast and i was very thankful! Also, the room is SOOO COMFORTABLE! No window, but i loved it!

  • Reviewer: Claire

    Comments: Very easy to communicate with, thorough and welcoming. Very hospitable, there was a snack when I arrived and a big breakfast too! Would definitely stay again.

  • Reviewer: Chels

    Comments: Nice place!

  • Reviewer: Yajaira

    Comments: My stay was very comfortable. Jason and his mother Helen were wonderful hosts. I arrived later than expected and Helen stayed up to help me check in. The apartment is conveniently close to a Subway station. The room itself was very nice and had its own AC unit, which was a blessing for my July stay. Wonderful hosts and a nice place to stay.

  • Reviewer: Kevin

    Comments: Jason and his mom are both very friendly and very helpful. The neighborhood is quit and peaceful. It's really close and easy to get to the subway and you'll be in Manhattan in minutes. I would definitely come back here.

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: so nice.

  • Reviewer: Sahar

    Comments: You will remember Jason and his mom Helen forever! Jason is a kind young man who has it all figured out (ex- need vegan options? He’s texting them to you before you even ask). The room and house are both very clean and simplistically kept. No clutter. There are grocery stores & restaurants all around. Definitely stay here if you’re looking for a safe, clean, and inviting place during your travels.

  • Reviewer: Teresa

    Comments: Jason and Helen’s place is clean, simple, and well-located in a residential area off the F in Brooklyn. I was so pleased by the hospitality they showed me, even though I wasn’t spending much time in the apartment other than sleeping. The air-conditioner in the middle of this hot NYC summer was such a relief. No, the room doesn’t have a window, but I, personally, did not find the room to feel confining. If you’re looking for a tidy space to lay your head in a quiet part of the city (about 45 minutes - hour to Midtown), Jason and Helen’s listing is a nice option.

  • Reviewer: Markus

    Comments: Quiet, safe and easy accessible neighborhood on the F line to Manhattan. Outstanding hospitality. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: Mary Kate

    Comments: Jason’s place was just right - easy access to the subway, very affordable, very comfortable bed, and great AC. His mom was extremely sweet and offered to cook for me. They were very kind to accommodate my late check-in and any questions I had.

  • Reviewer: Minh Huy

    Comments: the host is very nice, but the place is not so good

  • Reviewer: Ali

    Comments: As a first airbnb experience, this was the perfect place to get started. The subway was a short walk away, place clean, and Jason & his mom were awesome hosts!

  • Reviewer: Claudio

    Comments: This is the forth time I go at Jason and Helen house, extraordinary hospitality.

  • Reviewer: Edye

    Comments: Very great clean place. Jason and his mom Helen are very nice, knowledgeable, and reliable. If u are thinking of staying in NY, stay here.

  • Reviewer: Mihail

    Comments: Very high value for this price! I was jet lagged, so the lack of a window made it easier for me to sleep. Helen made me breakfast, while Jason helped me find my way, gave me tips as to where to eat out and was very friendly and frank. I’m very grateful that they responded to my texts quickly and showed understanding for my late check in due to a flight delay. I self-checked in without a problem.

  • Reviewer: Renato

    Comments: This was my second time staying with Jason and his mom. I booked with them the second time because the first time had been so nice that I had no incentive to bother looking for something else. I had great experiences both times. This place is great value: the house and room are super clean, the bed is comfy, the neighborhood is safe, the subway station is a 5 minute walk away. Jason is very helpful and accomodating. His mom (Helen), is very sweet. She cooked breakfast for us, bought us tasty dumplings from Chinatown, and shared her passion for music by singing to us. If you are looking for a safe, affordable, and confortable place for 1 or 2 people to stay while in NYC, look no further. I recommend Jason's place without reservations. I would love to stay with them again when I'm back in NYC. Best wishes.

  • Reviewer: Vivian

    Comments: I was visiting for an extended weekend. Jason and his mom were lovely hosts. My room is as shown in the pics and very clean and comfortable. I could walk or take the Uber to local hangouts. I needed a safe and clean place to nap/sleep and this was a great.

    Comments: Expect fantastic hospitality, responsiveness and professionalism - beyond most of my other Airbnb experiences!!! Good transportation links also. I would happily come back in the future. For those with heavy luggage or accessibility issues, note there is one flight of stairs to climb. There's also no window in the room but AC/heater ventilation.

  • Reviewer: 宜轩

    Comments: The room is super clean, the floor is sparkling! I’m a person who is very picky about cleanness, but Jason’s room can definitely meet my standards. Also, the host is very considerate, even provide the link of restaurants and stores around, very thoughtful to details. Btw, Jason’s mom is so nice, cooked meal for me, it’s delicious and I appreciate it very much!
