Sheldon is a wonderful host! My boyfriend and I are very new to NYC, and he was so inviting and personable. He was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. He was very flexible with us, he gave us tips where to eat and how to get around. He even walked us down the street to point us in the right direction! It was a very kind gesture.
About the place - the bed and pillows were very, very comfy- very much needed after a long day of being a tourist! Nice hot shower, clean towels, with a nice private bathroom - very rare to find. The ac in the bedroom and the whole apartment is very good. Plenty of closet and drawer space. The apartment faces a park, so it was a little noisy at night, but it wasn’t so loud to not be able to sleep. (It is a lively neighborhood). Local restaurants nearby. It is also close to two subway stops, which made it really easy to get to downtown, Central Park, Battery Park and back.
We recommend the room. Staying with Sheldon is a treat!
