Shia's apartment is quiet and safe with lovely touches. As a host, Shia is very friendly and eager to accommodate her guests. The street is not heavily trafficked making the experience somewhat unique in New York City. There are buses and subways very close by which give visitors easy access to the rest of Manhattan and the boroughs. Local convenience stores and restaurants while small and not fancy, add to the convenience. I highly recommend Shia's AirBNB to single travelers (the bed is a twin) who are looking for a warm Manhattan experience close to the northern edge of Central Park. In summer months, this location would be a great place to rent bicycles and tour the city. Loren
