I stayed for a week. The room is spacious and bright and the L train is just five mins away (so <30 mins in total to Manhattan). There are no blinds on the windows so make sure you're not bothered by light - I wasn't. It's probably a good choice if you're more looking for privacy. - I didn't even see Marlee for the first few days. There are constantly other guests/friends in the apartment - all of them friendly and quiet.
