Shawn has been a great host. Although we haven't seen each other much during my stay, she always made sure I was comfortable and well settled. The description of the room, the house and its location provided by Shawn pretty much correspond to what you get once you arrive at her place. It takes around 40 to 50 min to get to Time Square, depending on trains delays or disruptions, but the area where she lives is nice, quiet and genuine. I really liked my stay and my host and I will definitely rebook should I be in NYC again.
