Shailah is a gracious host and made me feel very comfortable in her home. The bed is comfy, the room is dark and there were no outside noises in the three nights that I stayed with her. Location is amazing! Walk out the front door right into Central Park. Subway is one block away. I could get everywhere I wanted to go with ease. Shailah was also helpful with subway information. I was out of her apartment during the day and came back in the late evening. It was perfect because I kept breakfast in the fridge and then had my other meals elsewhere. It was exactly what I was looking for!
