Shanie is a great host, available at all times during our stay. Her place is located within a short walking distance to the LIRR for easy access to Penn Station. Subway station was also working walking distance for easy access into NYC. Restaurants, fast food stores located within the next block. Quiet neighborhood. We felt safe day and night walking from the train station to and from her place on a daily. We had no issues coming in at late hours of the night. Her place was warm throughout the day and night during this cold winter weather made for a comfortable stay. Beds and pillows were extremely comfortable made for a restful nights sleep. Her kitchen and refrigerator in the studio was very convenient to have since we stay for almost a week and were able to save on a few meals me heated up. I would recommend Shanie place for the convenience of flying in from JFK and traveling into the city.
