Staying at Michelle's was wonderful. We have stayed in the Spacious room, it was nice, clean and full of light. The neighbourhood is calm, we felt safe there. And as it is located in the area full of family houses, staying there we felt like proper brookliners :-) There are several subway lines within 15 minutes walk from the house. It takes about 30 minutes subway ride to get to Manhattan. I have no hesitation to recommend Michelle's apartment.
