Host: The place is very easy to find and my host Monifa are very ver nice to us! She responded very quickly to my messages, and tried her best to provide me with everything additional that I asked for.
Parking: Free street parking is certainly a plus if you are driving! (Don't forget to move your car to the right side as there will be street cleaning except for Wednesdays. I got all this information from my host.)
The apartment: The room is spacious! I stayed at this apartment with my parents. There is a sofa bed for me, which is very comfortable! There is kitchen, fridge, bathroom, washing machine (during my stay it's broken), dryer and basically everything.
The neighborhood: It seems nice and safe. There is some sketchy area nearby, but as long as you don't walk around too late, I guess it shall be fine! It's very very close to subway station, grocery stores, and restaurants! It's about 40 minutes to manhattan if you take subway.
Cons: It can be a bit noisy as you will be staying on the ground level. You can hear footsteps and people talking upstairs--but overall, they are very quiet except around 10pm and 8am, which is totally manageable!
On the Christmas eve, there was a woman shouting outside of the apartment at around 4 am. Pretty scary, but it only happened once!
