I was satisfied with my stay at Shirley's place. The only surprise was that only one outlet in the room worked. Other than that, the room was exactly as pictured. We did not get the chance to meet Shirley during out stay, but she contacted us right before we arrived to walk us through the check-in process. There are also instructions and house rules posted around the house, so there was no confusion. The house is about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the Flushing Main Street station. Shirley's place is right off Main Street, so the walk is safe, even at night.
