Had a nice stay at Elena's place. She was not in town when I stayed but her friend whom managed the keys was excellent and very welcoming.

If you're a single traveler looking for a deal on a room this is a good option to consider. The location is nice with access to the metro system and a short walk to many Bushwick bars and restaurants. The private room was quieter than I expected. It locks and has its own AC unit. A sitting area and some storage for your items makes it a practical and efficient space to explore the city from.
