Shirley's room, and the entire apartment, are *perfect* and a true bargain given the size, especially if you need to stay on the UWS. You will be two blocks from the 1 train, and there is plenty around the immediate neighborhood with respect to everyday conveniences. The room itself is perfectly sized and just what I needed for a weekend in the city. Shirly was very helpful in getting the keys to me on a busy Friday afternoon and left very useful tips and instructions. Thanks for such a great, incredibly easy stay!
