Obed's place really is great. I would say the pictures don't actually do it justice. It has a really big bedroom and a big separate lounge in which Obed was nice enough to put a sofa in for me . Very handy for getting around NYC - the Q and R trains are about a 5-7 minute walk away, the G, A and C are within 5 minutes. The street has a great bar, a great place for Israeli food and a good coffee shop all within 50m. There are plenty of other places in the surrounding blocks.
Check-in was super easy and Obed responds very quickly to any messages. All the recommendations for shops were good.
