My friend and I stayed two weeks at Samuel's place. The apartment is very simply furnished but spacious and worked well for the two of us.
The neighborhood is ok but not particularly interesting. There is a supermarket and a subway station within ten minutes' walk, and with the A express train from Euclid Avenue station you can reach Manhattan in less than half an hour.
Samuel is very helpful and even though we only saw him a few times, we were always welcome to call if we had any questions. If you are traveling on a low budget, this is a good possibility for a reasonably cheap stay.
