Shannon's place is magazine-worthy adorable, had all the amenities you need, plus some absolutely delightful touches. It was a great space for our family to spread out, rest our legs and get a good night's sleep after long days exploring NY. Though my kids are teens, the attention to detail for a family with little kids was not lost on me-- it's like she thought of everything! It's a short walk to the subway, and a 30 min ride into the city, but it's a great time to plan your time once you get into Manhattan. For us, the extra space, lower price and homey atmosphere was worth a longer trip into the city.
