Shanie was nothing but courteous and kind from the moment I arrived, which was at an ungodly early hour for a Sunday in New York. Even so she was smiling when she met me and offered some local tips after I'd settled in. The subway to get to Manhattan is a short walk away (the journey itself is about 7-8 stops if you want Madison Ave, Central Park and so on). The bed was surprisingly large and warm so I slept very well. Overall an extremely pleasant stay and I'd visit again.
