Shelley’s place was the best find! It’s a gorgeous apartment (the pictures don’t do it justice) in a wonderful brownstone house right in the middle of a thriving neighbourhood. It was perfect for me, my husband, and our 17 yo son. The local bodegas have everything you need and the subway is just a 4 block walk away which gets you into lower Manhattan in 10-15 minutes or DUMBO (which is definitely worth a visit) in even less. The walk feels safe whatever time of day or night and the neighbourhood was full of life. Shelley is an excellent host, with lots of little personal touches that set her apart as a super Superhost! We will definitely look to come back again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience with the time to explore.
