Shira was very communicative and responsive from the beginning of my stay until the end of my stay. Her studio has a nice layout and it was comfortable.
A few little details to consider: upon arriving the bed wasn't made but there were instructions for me to remove sheets and bedding. There were only two towels left for us. I wouldn't mind that so much but my stay was for 10 days. I found the check-in/check-out process a bit stressful. There were a lot of arrangements made for picking up keys, returning them, etc. I much prefer minimal contact with hosts upon checking in and checking out. Shira was out of town at the time of my check-out. She gave me her friend's contact to arrange dropping the keys. I think it's a lot easier for a guest not to be coordinating times with another person. I would have preferred to have a set check-out time and a spot to leave the keys. Lastly, it was the middle of summer and Shira discussed the use of the air conditioning with me. Im fine with using A/C as minimally as possible but there seemed to be a lot of concerns around the use.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location was perfect for us and I found the studio quaint. I especially enjoyed the quick walk to Prospect Park!
