The room is great and private. Not in as good condition as the photos would indicate but still perfectly fine. There is no air con so I can see it getting a little uncomfortable if it were very warm outside, however Shae does provide a cooling fan. The area looks a little sketchy on first impression but it is honestly fine. My girlfriend and I walked through the streets at all sorts of hours with no problem. Its 8 mins from the J line and is quick to get in the city, which is what we did every day. Shae was a most helpful host who made sure we had everything we needed. Parking is a ball ache, as you have to move the car every few days for the sweepers, but it is like this EVERYWHERE in NY so nothing on Shae, just a warning.

Overall, you get what you pay for in terms of quality and definitely worth the money we saved from not staying in the city.
