Shai's place was perfect for me and my little dog. It's very spacious, well-decorated, and clean. There is exposed brick and lots of natural light. As a singer/songwriter, the music studio was a big bonus too!
Even though Shai was touring out of the country during my stay, he was quick to respond and went the extra mile to make sure I would have everything I'd need, including a nice microphone to use. He and his friends in the building are so kind and accommodating.
The apartment is only 5 min walk to the G train, which you can take all over Brooklyn or easily transfer to get into the city. There's a coffee shop called Cafe Phil in the building downstairs that I went to every day for my morning joe. I look forward to staying at Shai's place again, and highly recommend!
