Given how fast nice accommodation goes in New York, I was really happy to stay at Margot's place. The location is key here: your own 1 bedroom apartment at the place of Brooklyn where basically all subway lines meet each other, is just great. There's nice cafes, bars, pizza place, bagel place, Mr Mango (nice and big deli) and a Whole Foods nearby. Margot's place is nicely decorated and has all basic amenities. Check-in was easy too. It's a walk-up, so you're on the top floor of a three-storey building. Light sleepers may find the music loud of a nearby pub on some evenings, but it wasn't an issue for me (you're in New York after all). Oh, and this is a really good value for such a centrally located private place with loads of natural light coming!
