Shera is an amazing host. She's super considerate and easy to communicate with. Whatever you need, she's thought about it beforehand. The place is in a nice residential neighborhood. It's very convenient, only 1.5 block away from the train station, though the train ride into Manhattan can be a little long (about an hour into Times Square). I came back from my dance class at about midnight one day, but felt very safe, since there were still plenty of people on the train and in the neighborhood at that time.
