I felt pretty comfortable over at Daniela's place. The neighborhood was pretty nice. The commute into the city is a bit far, but the price is unbeatable. It will take you about 30/40 minutes to get into Manhattan, if you plan on spending most of your time there, but if you're like me and you don't mind the commute, then I recommend staying here. It's super close to public transport with both the J/Z and A/C lines a few blocks away. There are a ton of shops for food and groceries nearby as well.
