Shell's place is conveniently located and within walking distance to a lot of tourist attractions and a Subway station. There are a lot of great places to eat nearby. The room and the whole apartment was really clean. There are a lot of amenities available, which is great if you packed lightly. I was out till pretty late each night, but I felt pretty safe in the area. The only complaint I had was that the stairs are a little narrow and uneven, but this is kind of common in New York. If I come back, I'd definitely stay at Shell's place again.
