Mary's place is great and she is a friendly and communicative host. We needed a place very quickly and she was able to accomodate us. Easy to get in with lockbox on the stoop. L train is a block or so away. There is a nice coffee shop down the street call ghost coffee. A couple of nice bars nearby as well. It was very clean and the shower is large and fantastic. Plenty of room to put your luggage/clothing and it is only a few steps above street level. Lots to like!
