I'd only recommend this place if you're on a tight budget. I had a slight issue with the water, it would not heat my first night, but Shae was prompt in responding and fixed it by the next morning.
I found the set up of the nook to be odd, as I thought this was a separate apartment (see cons). So when I found myself walking into someone's home, could tell someone was there, but wasn't personally greeted, it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I'm a former Airbnb host, and just feel if my set up was similar, I would greet guests. Also I think this technically should be advertised as a shared space, not entire space. Also slightly odd was that when I entered, Shae hadn't finished her laundry so there were items being dried. I received a text to "stop it", which again I found odd. Not a deal breaker but again just odd behavior for a host, as I felt at least an "Oh sorry for leaving my laundry" should have preceded that.
But overall because it was just for one night I didn't trip too much.
PROS
-- Quick walk to subway
-- Quiet location
-- Across the street from a bodega
-- Basic amenities (tv, towels, microwave, fridge, sink)
CONS
-- This is not a separate unit. You are essentially walking into Shae's home via the front door and going downstairs to her basement that is outfitted with a bathroom and other apartment-like amenities.
-- Definitely not for tall people as she explains. I'd only rent this place if you're 5'8" or shorter, like me.
