This is a great place to stay. I have lived in New York previously full time, so I know the city well. I can tell you that Bushwick is a great area to stay in - the apartment is less than a 5 minute walk to the 'DeKalb' station on the L train line - this will get you into Manhattan (14th St Union Sq) in about 25 minutes. From there you can transfer to many other lines that can take you around the city. Bushwick itself also has lots of cool restaurants and bars.
The room and apartment were both very clean, and it is a spacious place, especially by New York standards. There is also access to a rooftop that is a fun place to hang out if the weather is good. I met the host Daren a few times and he was very welcoming. There is a also a very sweet, friendly cat.
Overall, if you are looking for somewhere that gives you good access to Manhattan, at a good price, that is spacious and clean - look no further! I will be back in NY again in the future and will look to stay here again.
