Marina's apartment is really convenient to the L train, and super close on the train to some really cool neighbourhoods (Bushwick and Williamsburg are filled with great restaurants and cool things to do). Also if you aim to go into Manhattan it's pretty convenient (even when the L train shuts early, since there is also the M). The room is a quite small, and has more furniture than pictured in the post, but for a individual person there is more than enough room to stay comfortably. I mostly interacted with Marina's boyfriend during my stay and he is really friendly and lovely, and helpfully points out where you can find things in the apartment.
