Shaila and Alex are great hosts, communicative and friendly. The apartment was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay. Short commute to Williamsburg or Manhattan. We highly appreciated all the great advice for restaurants etc. in the area. The neighborhood was a bit more questionable than we expected. The street is very dirty and there was loud music, neighbors fighting and screaming at all hours of the day. The apartment is also not very well sound isolated and you can hear absolutely everything from the apartment above. Air condition was also very loud so you can't use it at night. This is not the place for you if you want to sleep in and are looking for a quiet place, but for us it was perfectly fine.
