We did not have the opportunity to meet Lakisha but she was very clear in her explanations on the website and mail instructions. She was also very reactive to our few questions. The apartment is very clean, very functional. Exactly what is described in the website ... but nothing more. Equipments are strictly as described, nothing less (but nothing more!). We booked the 3 rooms for one week; the rooms are very nice, large, with nice wooden floors. Old house very nice with neighbours upstairs. No space as living room. The only common space is the kitchen if you like to sit 4 people on high stools. The equipment in the kitchen is very basic. (where are the plates? bin? equipment for 9 people?). Probably not enough if you like to cook yourself (but we did not). The area is safe and after one week in Manhattan we really enjoyed living one week in Bushwick. Grocery store and Cleaner very close. Few places to eat around (fast food) but we found 3-4 places at 20 mn walk more like restaurants / trendy bars. The room #1 is on the street side , a bit noisy (bushwickers like loud music in their cars and noisy vehicles!) and curtains are not "light proof", when the sun rises the room is lightened. The 2 other rooms are more quiet and dark.
In conclusion we had a good stay in the flat . The description is faithful to the reality ... with nothing more. The host is very caring and reactive. I can recommend!
