I had an excellent time at David's place. The room was spacious and clean, his roommate (David was out on business) very friendly and helpful, the relaxed neighbourhood filled with excellent bars and restaurants & a marvellous park (Prospect Park) nearby. Moreover, the subway (several lines just around the corner) will take you to Manhattan in no time. Or head to Coney Island for example, you're halfway there compared to people staying in Manhattan, nice... To summarize: highly recommended!
