I stayed at Lexia's place for 2 weeks on a business trip;
Pros - Clean & well maintained with a full fledged kitchen. The host is flexible, communicative and ready to help. I also found some good local eateries like German Soup or Sea Kings and other Caribbean restaurants close by. (search on google maps) . Bus stop right outside the door.
Cons - As i was on a business trip, had to travel to 42nd St Grand Central every day leaving early morning and returning quite late. I found the travel a bit long and tiring. Whilst the room is on the quieter end, one can at times hear the sound of traffic or foot steps from the floor above.
