This was my friend and I's first Air BnB experience. We were coming from Grand Central Station to Shelby and Julian's place, and when we texted her that we were downstairs, she offered to help us with our bags. Though we declined, Julian came down to help anyway because the struggle to get up to their apartment with our luggage was REAL. When we finally got up to their place, they welcomed us into the room that was just like, if not better, than the picture. It was clean, organized, cozy, and perfect for two people to sleep comfortably in. The location is walking distance from the subway that can take you to the city or any major tourist destination within 20-25 minutes. It's not that difficult to get to where you need to be from here. The area is fairly safe-- it can get busy but not crowded during peak hours.

Aside from how nice and welcoming their apartment was in itself, Shelby and Julian are AMAZING hosts. These two are incredibly helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have, whether it be transportation or what to do in NYC. They're just a text away if you ever need them and are very considerate if circumstances come up. They're both down to earth and don't make you feel like a guest in their place, but a friend.

Our only regret is that we didn't stay with them longer. If we're in the city any time again, we will definitely book a spot with these two. If you're looking for a place that will give you the New York experience, a comfortable but affordable place to stay in, AND has great hosts, THIS place is IT. Enough said.
