Monica was a great host, she contacted me one day prior to my arrival to make sure I would be able to enter the apt. The room was clean and as described, and everything was prepared when I arrived. The apt itself and the bathroom were also neat and tidy. She had a folder ready with the Wifi key (very important ;)) and some tips on what to see and where to eat in the neighborhood.

The location of the apt is also great, just two minutes from the "Prospect Park" metro station. In general I felt pretty safe in the neighborhood and wasn't afraid coming back to the apt even late at night.

One of the downsides was the noisy road facing the room. Also, there was a large fridge in the room, which started humming intermittently at night. Earplugs solved this problem for me, though ;)
