Monica's place was great. Very clean, spacious by New York standards, and in a great location - convenient to coffee, drug/convenience stores, the subway, and of course Prospect Park. The street was a little bit loud at night, but I don't know of any place in NYC where the streets are actually *quiet* on a Saturday night, so no big deal :) Monica provides a helpful guide in the room with her own opinions on local places to get food & drink, and places to see.
