Sheena is a great host, she always replied very fast and also made us feel welcome. She explained how everything works in the apartment and even provided small things (like raincoats) to make us feel home. She even allowed us to keep our luggage in the apartment on our last day as our flight was late at night!
The location is just perfect, literally 10 minutes to get to the city, the subway is just one block away. Ideal if you want to explore NYC. The neighborhood is absolutely safe, there were always a lot of people on the street, and there are awesome restaurants and bars just next to the apartment. There is also a big grocery store and a pharmacy around the corner.
The apartment is old but very clean, just like on the pictures. It does have a little smell (like old apartment smell), but not bothering at all. It is how we pictured a typical New York apartment would look like.
At night it was sometimes noisy as there is a 24-h fruit market in the building, but it was okay.
Overall it was a great experience, we would definitely stay at Sheena's again when we are in NYC.
