Shai was the perfect host and made us feel comfortable and welcome for our entire week-long visit. His apartment was a dream, super spacious for New York city standards, with tons of light streaming in, great air circulation and everything we needed for our stay, comfortable bed, couches, and fully equipped kitchen. It was also very very clean. The neighborhood is also terrific, close to lots of great cafes and shops with a supermarket half a block away and a great Korean coffee shop/restaurant just a few steps away. We felt safe and happy the entire time. I can highly recommend this apartment and Shai as a great host.
