We had a great stay at Shearly's place. We were quite happy with the location and cleanliness of the apartment. The subway was right outside. This made it easy to get to most places. Plenty of places to eat and shop at nearby! We are happy we chose to stay here for our quick New York trip. We took note of the fresh flowers on the table too. I am a light sleeper - the subway noise was something I got used and expected from the description. Though we did not get to meet Shearly, she had simple instructions left for us and was quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay :)
