As many others have noted on their reviews, Sharon and Michael are exceptionally accommodating. I found them to be personable and quick to address questions or special needs. Their kids are friendly and really cool! The website did not provide specific directions from the three major airports, but when I wrote to Sharon to ask for directions from Penn Station, she sent a detailed list of directions.
The room is in a shared two bedroom renovated garden level apartment. At the time I stayed here, the other room was occupied by a full-time female tenant. The apartment has a separate downstairs entrance from the street and the main living quarters above. The apartment, which only has one small window facing the street, is quite dark which requires the lights to be on for any illumination. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. The living room, dining area, and bathroom are quite modern. Yes, there is a giant flat screen TV with internet connection. The bedroom is adequate.
Despite having no negative experiences in the neighborhood, and hearing reassurances that the neighborhood was safe, as a single woman, I tried to return to the apartment before it got too late at night. A further consideration may be that it takes about half an hour to get to Midtown. The upside is that this neighborhood is quiet and there is a feeling of calm entering the apartment after being in Manhattan all day. For me, after having stayed in Manhattan on a previous trip, I will choose the quiet. I would definitely return to Sharon’s Airbnb.
