Shane's apartment is very cozy, and well kept. There are many books to read so you really can't get bored, even if your staying indoors. He was very accommodating and there is an Apple TV which gives many entertainment options. It was very welcoming and had everything set out almost as if it were a hotel room. I've lived in NYC studios in the past, and must say that it is much nicer compared to many I've been in. Relatively large place with a great layout so it feels bigger and better equipped than most studios. Great location if you're mainly staying on the east side. Starbucks, pharmacies, restaurants, bars and a movie theater all within a block of the building!! Overall it was a great place to stay and Shane is much nicer to work with than many Airbnb hosts. With all the perks given by Shane and the location, staying here would make anyone's visit to NY much more comfortable than many other places. I highly recommend it!
