I highly recommend Elin's place. Apartment is beautiful as pictured, exceptionally bright and spacious for New York. Easy and quick to get to lower Manhattan on the B/Q train, and very close to Prospect Park and Brighton Beach. Elin was great with communication and left us fresh linens and everything else a guest could need. Neighbourhood felt safe and lively, great vegetarian restaurant and jerk chicken place within 5 minutes' walk.
