Staying at Jane's was awesome! She was really helpful on the first day and showed us around the apartment and answered all of our questions regarding the subway and taxi etc. She also let us be and we hardly saw her apart from occasional run ins and that was great. The apartment is as pictured, spacious, neat and tidy, with a comfortable bed. A huge selection of books to read from, interesting artwork and strong wifi signal down there. The apartment is literally 2 minutes walk down the street and left into the subway. There's also coffee shops, McDonald's, Duane reade and cvs pharmacy down the street. Location seems safe with familes living on the street with awesome Christmas decorations when we went. A tip when catching a cab from Manhattan to the apartment is make sure you have a GPS or the driver does, if not make sure you get the directions and which Bridge to use for a cheap and quick trip.
Overall, it was an awesome experience is NYC, and Brooklyn of course, saved a lot of money in the process and will definitely do it again when we visit.
