Sheying was great with communication and allowing early checkin. I saw Sheying's mother much more than Sheying and she was very nice and helpful. I suspect with Sheying just beginning to host, it will get even better with time as she seemed very interested in how to be a good Airbnb host. The cooking in the house smelled great - and she made available milk, eggs and a freezer full of dumplings. The room is a bit small, if you need space. But the price is great - do make sure it's an area you want to be in. As a New Yorker needing a place to stay for a few nights, I like seeing her neighbors make great use of the stoop to spend time with friends at night - and they were always very polite and even too apologetic about giving me space to get to the door.
