Aika's home was perfect for us! The room was spacious, modern, clean, and comfortable (not to mention tastefully decorated). It was thoughtful to have a desk in the room which was functional and convenient. The AC in the room worked well and we could adjust it to our comfort.
The location was better than I expected. The L train is fast and comes often. It only took 3 stops to get to Union Square. But, you may find yourself skipping the crowded and hot Manhattan for Williamsburg, which is super trendy and has great restaurants, coffee shops, bars...
Lastly, Aika is a lovely host and a fun person to talk to!
