I stayed in the shared space because I had a long layover at JFK. I was a bit nervous at first, but it exceeded my expectations! There are curtains that allow you to have some privacy, and the house was very clean. My trip to and from the airport was less than 10 min and about $10 via lyft. In addition, I was a bit late checking out and Lakshmee was very kind about it. Highly recommended for a layover at JFK.
