Denise was very nice, she made us feel at ease and at home as well. We spend a really nice week there. The D subway and the 4 train are one block away so it makes it very easy to go to Manhattan. The neighborhood is quite safe and was quite lively during the 4th of July weekend. There is a pretty nice NY-style pizzeria around the corner if you want to experience NY food.
Denise is a great host, she gave us pointers for our visits and we had nice talks with her. She also gave us some privacy when we needed some so I would totally recommend her place.
The room was quite big with a lot of light (exactly like in the pictures), it was very relaxing after spending the whole day visiting the city. Plus she added AC in the room so that it wouldn't be too hot at night. She really made us feel confortable.
