Sheila's place was great, and Sheila was a very welcoming host. The apartment is just as it appears in the pictures, very warm and cozy (a good thing, as outside temps were often well below freezing during our March-April visit). The bed was also extremely comfortable - almost too hard to get out of in the morning!

The neighbourhood is a great place to be if you like eating out, and Sheila provided us with some great recommendations (Chestnut, on Smith, was our favourite). She also provided some basic supplies (bread etc).

Really easy to get into Manhattan on the Subway (just two blocks away), or a nice stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge if you're a fan of walking.

Only things to note are that it is up two short flights of stairs (no lift), which wasn't a problem for us, but may be if you're not able to shift heavy bags easily. Also there is no TV - not that you need it with so many exciting things to be seeing and doing!

Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and will be recommending it to any friends headed to NYC.
