Don't think of this like 'damn, I'm about to stay in a fancy NYC airBnB' think of it like 'I'm going to go stay in my uncle's fixer-upper in Crown Heights' - Daniel's place is totally livable, with plenty of space (three bathrooms in the house, two kitchens, back patio) but not fancy.

This listing is for a bedroom directly above the front door, so you'll hear people coming and going, plus traffic and emergency services outside. Whatever, it's not unbearable, especially for the price. Do also note, 2 additional rooms pass directly by the bedroom door to gain access to the house, so that can get a little creaky. I'm saying 'this place is nice enough, bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.'

It is seriously right across from the 3 train at Kingston, and the 4 at Utica-Crown Heights is a short walk away. Easy peasy. If you're not familiar with the city, the Subway doesn't always run on a perfect schedule - make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get places, especially if you need to go into Manhattan.
