It’s rare for me to write a bad review but this one really deserves one. Shakima’s place is in a very unsafe part of bed-stuy (and I’ve lived in the alphabet city before...). Shakima‘s greeting was “take your shoe’s off, i’m a clean freak and we have customers come in for my detox business”. Then she asked me to not touch the towels in the bathroom as they were decorative and to keep the toilet seat down at all time again the customers are very sensitive... I was pretty confused but figured maybe the room will make up for such a treat of a host...The bed was small, squeaky and hard as a rock. Unlike the professionally taken photos, the apartment was dark and smelled like a yoga studio...Then her super loud blender started working which sounded like a jet engine. I thought if that’s just the beginning, i don’t want to see how it’s going to end. I got out of there immediately and only got half of my money back. A word of advice, always read “all” of the reviews, and document when things seem wrong so you can at least get your money back when you have experiences like the one i did
