Look no further.
Shakima is great, the place is great. Room is a great size for a solo traveler or couple. Her place is kept very clean so you should be too. The air conditioner in the room works perfectly and the bed is really comfortable. She has a full size dresser and closet for you to utilize, as well as a desk.
Bed-Stuy is super cool and she’s in a great location for cute coffee shops and restaurants. You have to try Brown Butter Cafe, which is only 3 short blocks from her apartment(and there’s a very nice laundromat right next door to the cafe) as well as El Barrio if you like Mexican food(they deliver to her!)
There’s a small bodega right across the street that I used many times.
Everyone in the area that I met was nice and welcoming. I felt safe each day.
I stayed with Shakima for a month while working at the hospital in the area, and it was only a short 20-minute walk with a subway station about 10 minutes away. Fulton Street and Tompkins Ave is very lively in the afternoons and especially on the weekends; I recommend trying the street side BBQs!
