Really great experience at Shannon's place. Shannon and his flatmates are lovely, sociable, helpful and very accommodating! The flat itself is brilliant, super close to the subway to get into Manhattan, and the building feels safe. It was very clean and a nice place to come back to after the long days of walking around New York. Very minor problems would be the aircon being quite loud when you're trying to sleep and no curtains on the windows in the room making lie ins quite hard, but we solved this by throwing some towels up! All in all though Shannon's place is a perfect place to stay for anyone wanting to see New York and the people in the flat are so nice you'll feel right at home!
