Our stay at Mel's place was great. The bed was super comfortable and everything was clean and tidy upon our arrival. The location is super close to newkirk plaza subway stop where you can easily hop on a Q or B train to manhattan. Theres also tons of cute cafes in the neighbourhood. We went to the cafe milk and honey everyday and its only 2 mins away.
One word of warning, the room is on the top floor. The stairs are also quite narrow, so if you have large suitcases, it may be quite difficult to get it upstairs.
