We stayed a week at Oscars Bushwicks apartment/room. It was clean, sharing the bathroom was no problem. Great kitchen.Good coffee we could have in the mornings. Subway stations are close, easy to get into Manhattan, though it took some time but it was fine. We spent a day walking around Bushwick. It was easy to walk to Jefferson Station/area , which is an exciting neighbourhood . Also easy to get from JFK AirPort, airtrain/Subway to Wilson avenue,Subway Station very close.
We recommend Oscars place, if you want to experience something else than Manhattan. The road in front of the house is busy in the mornings, evenings more quiet. TaKe some earplugs with you but you are staying in New York ,a City that does not sleep.
