Monica's apartment is in a great location, directly across the street from the lovely Prospect Park and only a two minute walk to the subway stop. Your room comes equipped with essentials like a pull-out mattress, sink/stove/cabinets and fridge. Nothing fancy but it's cozy enough and gets the job done.

You share a bathroom, which is in a narrow hallway between your room and hers, and rather than a door your room has a thick curtain. So while this may not sound ideal for someone expecting total privacy it didn't really bother me.

Monica is easy to get in touch with via email/text, is very resourceful and personable, and does her best to ensure you enjoy your stay. Ultimately location was the biggest factor for me in deciding on her apartment and that was definitely a success :)
