Shera's place is tremendous value for money. It is within 5 minutes walk from the Nereid Avenue station (Line 2), and I (male) felt safe walking from the station to her home, even around midnight.
Breakfast (cereal and milk) is provided. The bathroom is kept very clean. In addition, Shera's home is filled with many thoughful touches, such as menus from nearby food places. And she is available to help as needed.
I will heartily recommend staying at her place, and will do so when I visit NYC again.
