Sheena's place is FABULOUS. From the woodsy decor, to the starbucks freshly ground coffee, to the comfortable beds, to the quaint garden area with a waterfall and fire pit; every detail was thoughtful and generous. We would DEFINITELY stay here again when visiting NYC. As far as the neighborhood, we walked from the apartment to the subway station in about 15 minutes and never felt unsafe. If you're thinking about booking this place, go for it! You won't be disappointed.
