Shaila and Alex are wonderful hosts - very accommodating, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We found it fairly easy to get around the city from Bed-Stuy, even with the weekend subway schedule. The apartment is lovely, bright, and very clean, and overall it was a pleasure to stay for a few nights. It's been recently renovated and thoughtfully decorated - we felt quite comfortable during our stay and appreciated the art and other nice touches throughout. I'd highly recommend staying with Shaila and Alex.
