We loved Shilo’s spacious efficiency for our trip to NYC. Overall this was a fantastic place for us to stay on our first trip to NYC and we will absolutely come back on our next trip. It is fantastically located only a few blocks from major subway stations for easy access uptown or downtown and plenty of food options. We felt safe and secure staying there and had everything we needed. Make sure to adjust the AC vent up away from the bed to cool the whole space efficiently. The building seems a tad drab upon first entry but the apartment is wonderfully clean, tidy, and we didn’t see any pests during our whole stay. We did say hello to other tenants briefly and they were pleasant and polite. Note that there are two steep, narrow stairwells to go up unpon arrival and that large and heavy baggage may be more difficult to bring up if you are not a strong person. Shilo had soap and shampoo available for us to use as well as dish soap and plenty of towels for two people. We will be back!
