Shaila and Alex's place was good and true to the ad. We enjoyed our stay. Some downfalls were the upstairs noise and the outside rowdiness, but we were given ear plugs, which was a nice thought. The neighborhood can be questionable at night, although no one bothered us, we were very cautious walking about. Not sure if it was us or the machine, but not until our last night, the AC wouldn't cool down below 74. This sounds cool, but on a day where it reached 90, we woke up sweating. The location is close to public transportation and little cafes. About a 40 minutes ride to time square and 30 minutes to Williamsburg area. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were the softest I've ever felt! Would recommend.
