Shakima's place is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The room is very comfortable and you will have a lot of privacy. Shakima is also very accommodating and allows you to feel at home by giving you full access to her kitchen and supplies. A/C and G trains are each a few blocks away. Unpretentious bodegas, delis, pizza places and a couple of bars around the area. Oh, and her cat is also very cute and well-behaved.
