Me and my girlfriend stayed 10 days at Jacqui house, and our experience was great!
The apartment is really cozy, our room was very big, weel furnished, with a super-confortable mattress and and bright (2 large windows behind the bed!)
We didn't meet Jacqui in person because she was away, but she made everything to make our stay very pleasant!
Surrounding area is fine even if t's not the hippest part of Brooklyn, there are coffees and restaurant very close (less than 15 min by foot). In particular I suggest you to have a dinner at "Do or Dine" (5 mins by foot).
Subways :
G line is 5 min away by foot.
A-C lines are 10 mins away by foot.
You can reach downtown Manhattan in 10/15 mins ride on the subway.
We had a real NYC Brooklyn experience, this property is highly reccomended, THANKS JACQUI :-)
