The private room on offer at Karim's place is a decent size and has fantastic views. His place is close to one of Williamsburg's main streets, and is therefore walking distance from great places to eat and drink. (My favourites include Sweet Chick, Pokebab, and Joe's Pizza.) It is also walking distance from a subway station, making it ideal as a base to explore other parts of NYC. Karim was a responsive and communicative host. I would definitely recommend Karim's place to others.
