Shelley is one of the kindest hosts we’ve had the pleasure of having, and Marina, the cat, was absolutely healing to be around!! 😊 I was really anxious about arriving at an appropriate time for check-in and Shelley was really accommodating even with her schedule. Manhattan was soooooo humid when we visited, and it was so nice to have so many fans and an excellent AC in the room to cool down after walking for hours in the city. If you’re a cat person, I seriously recommend booking because Marina, much like her owner, is also an extremely sweet and welcoming host. The apartment is conveniently located near subway stations (like a 4 min walk) to downtown and only was about a 20-30min ride to anywhere in Manhattan! It was very easy for us to plan how to get from the apt to the subway to any of the museums we wanted to check out. Thanks again, Shelley, and we hope we can visit again and stay at your bnb sometime in the future!
