My husband and I visited NYC in June. It was our first visit to the US and also the first time that we had made a booking through Airbnb. Shelley was a great host. Her garden apartment was well equipped for all our needs and very clean, spacious and comfortable. Shelley was very helpful and welcoming and allowed us to leave our luggage at her place as our flight arrived very early in the morning at JFK. This way we could explore our destination while she got the apartment ready for us. Shelley is passionate about Brooklyn and shared some tips with us re interesting places to visit in the borough. The street where she stays has a charming character with neat and colourful gardens and friendly residents. We felt safe in the area and the subway at Courtelyou was a 10minute walk from the apartment. If we visit NYC in future, we will definitely stay with Shelley again.
