Shirley's place was great for a quick overnight. I got in late to JFK and had to catch a train down to Philly early the next day, so I was only there to sleep. Check-in was easy (Shirley provided detailed instructions), the bed was comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and safe (important since I'm traveling solo). Everything was incredibly clean and I was pleased to find plenty of toiletries (I only brought a carry-on) and a hair dryer. I'm 5'8" and I bumped my head on the ceiling above the stairs as I was leaving, so just a heads-up (pun intended) if you're tall: the ceilings are low. I slept better at Shirley's than I have in a long time, it's a great place to stay before or after a long trip.
