Had an excellent stay in Natasha's and her sister's place. I was living in one of four rooms in the upper storey of a house in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. About half an hour subway ride from Manhattan. The other rooms up there are also rented out through airbnb, two of them were occupied at the time with nice guys from India and Korea. I shared kitchen, bathroom and a large common room with them.

The showers worked good. Kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave. Heating was very good in my room and bathroom, and sufficient in kitchen and common room, in spite of extremely cold weather. Excellent value for the money.
