Shelley is a very gracious host. The apartment and shared bathroom downstairs is very clean and spacious. As a woman, I loved the 2 large mirrors in my room 😉 Made it so much easier to do makeup. Great cable choices - Netflix, Amazon Video, HBOMAX, Peacock. If you are planning to cook, there are plenty of bodegas and grocery stores on Utica Avenue and the apartment has plenty of cooking utensils and spices. 10 min walk from the A, C, 3, 4 trains. There is also a bus stop a block away. The only thing to keep in mind is that it is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator in the building, in case you have a lot of luggage. But you get a good exercise 😊
