We've enjoyed staying at Sharif's place a lot! Location is perfect for exploring Brooklyn, you can find many nice restaurants, bars and coffe places all around Bushwick. It's close to metro station were you can catch trains to Manhattan. Sharif wasn't there but he's left us all needed information to get into apartment and he stayed in touch with us. His roommates are extremly nice and helpful, they gave us lot of good tips for visiting NYC.
