My husband and I recently stayed with Madison for 23 nights, and it was wonderful.
When we arrived Madison showed us how to use the coded door. We loved having a code rather than actual keys to worry about when we left the house. Madison has addressed the previous review mentioning not having a light to see - a sensor light has been put in and there was no trouble seeing.
The place was really clean and had everything we needed. She had left us a bowl of snacks and there was various toiletries and soap in the bathroom. There was basic cooking necessities in the kitchen - saucepans and pots, oils, salt and sugar. Madison was always available and willing to help us with anything we needed, and checked up on us via email every so often.
It is located on a busy street, so there is some noise in the kitchen, but as the bedroom is located at the back there was barely any street noise you could hear from there, only the occasional siren.
The place itself is a very good location. We really wanted to see it all, so most nights we didn't get back until 2am, and never had any problems walking around Bushwick. We always felt safe and the streets are well lit. Sure there was homeless people asking for change, but there was not many and it's the same all over New York.
Five minutes walk from the J train which takes you into Manhattan down to battery park, or to Jamaica station which links you to the AirTrain and to the Long Island Rail Road which we used to travel out to Montauk. It's also about fifteen minutes from the L train which takes you up through Brooklyn and to the East Village and Midtown.
Just around the corner is a supermarket, a laundromat and a chemist, which was convenient for grabbing supplies after getting off the train, especially with the chemist (rite aid) open 24 hours.
We would highly recommend Madison's apartment to anyone who wants a clean, cheap and spacious location from which to see all of New York State.
