We really enjoyed staying in Shira's place. She was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The place was very cute, clean and well organized. The location was fantastic. The building front door is about 30 steps from the C train stop which can get you to Times Square (for example) in 15 minutes. There are also several great places for food, drinks and music nearby. We recommend LoLo's Crab Shack if you like seafood.

As with any apartment in NYC, sometimes the common areas are a little funky, and do be prepared to walk up to the 5th floor. But if you are just a little bit adventurous, the environment is all part of the experience.
