I lived with Sharon for a month while working on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The commute was totally manageable, there were lots of great bars and restaurants and delis in the area, and the neighborhood was busy enough to be fun but wasn't overwhelming.
The room is great, exactly how the pictures showed. Bed was comfortable and I had lots of storage space. Sharon was super chill and friendly and we both did our own thing during my stay while also making me feel welcome. Her dog Gypsy was a sweetheart who hung out with me all the time but never barked and was always relaxed.
I definitely recommend Sharon's place.
