I would highly recommend Camila's place. It's in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn just steps away from the subway, which gives you easy access to Manhattan.
We didn't get to meet Camila during our stay because she was out of town, but we communicated via e-mail/text without problems and she was always very responsive and very pleasant! She arranged for a friend to show us the apartment and leave keys with us. We had the whole apartment to ourselves for the week.
The room is very big in any case, but especially for New York. There's also a kitchen and bathroom that are more than adequate.
All in all a great place to stay for those visiting New York who want easy access to Brooklyn or Manhattan.
