I stayed at Marvet's place for a month and the place was very tidy and organized. It is very near Prospect Park and very close to the 2/5 trains so getting into Manhattan was a breeze. There's one great Italian place right around the corner and lots of local cuisine but the neighborhood shuts down a little early so if you shop for your foods you should do it before 8 or 9pm. A short train ride to the Bergen stop takes you plenty more restaurant and pub options. There's no AC (at least not as of this review) but the floor fan did the trick for me.
