I would recommend this location to anyone, and recommend Lakisha as perhaps the best host I've dealt with in the NYC area. You can't argue with the price, and I've stayed in pricier places in the city that were not nearly as pleasant or private.
This place is clean, quiet, with lots of doors to lock that make you feel that your person and belongings are very safe. It's within close proximity to coffee and a major drugstore, and only a few minutes walk to the J train. Lakisha was professional and engaged, but was not hovering over my stay. She responded quickly when messaged, and followed up with me on her own. Each day, the common areas were obviously and thoroughly cleaned. I liked the neighborhood as well; the night I arrived, I was able to participate in some neighborhood block parties and have chill conversations with some of the people living in the area. It was "live", but that's sort of the whole point of staying in this borough and this type of neighborhood versus the cold detachment of midtown Manhattan.
