We had a 2-week vacation at Monica's place and had a very pleasant experience. Monica is very prompt with email response, and you'll receive her very detailed instructions for staying at the place and traveling around. The apartment is clean, tidy, and spacious enough. There're occasional noises from Ocean Ave at night, but no big deal. The bed is really warm and cozy, which is a big plus after a long day of walking around in the city. The area seems safe, it's nice to be right next to Prospect Park, and the Metro (B and Q) is real close to the house, making it easy for traveling around. Overall the place is definitely great value for the money!
