Jason and his mum were lovely hosts. They really want to make you feel at home and comfortable in the accommodation. Jason's mum reminds me of my friends Asian mums - wanting to cook for you and make sure you're properly fed. I really appreciated the offer of a lift and free entry to the nearby botanic gardens but unfortunately I ran out of time - maybe on my next visit.
The house is well located between two subway stations although I got the feeling one would have not been that safe at night - take Jason's advice on which station to get off at (I think Church Avenue). The best thing about the New York Subway is how late it runs. I got back around 1am to 3am and felt safe going to the house.
Then bathroom is small but suitable and I found the accommodation adequately clean (it is a home not a show case). The bedrooms were on the small side but I expect that is normal for New York. Hooks would have been useful and I have mentioned that to Jason who said h would fix the issue.
The neighbourhood has plenty of cheap restaurants and they are priced well. There is a great "Taco" place, which is actually an Asian / South American hybrid, very close. As an added bonus you can catch the train to Coney Island.
I would happily stay again if in NYC
