I was there for almost a month, and here are my list of pro and cons.
Pro:
- affordable
- not far from the subway, line 5 (13 mins by walk)
- the apartment is close to many kind of shops (including a supermarket and a laundromat)
- the neighborhood seems overall safe
- the room and the apartment are spacious
- the host is very kind
Cons:
- the neighborhood was sometimes noisy (but the host seems to really care about this issue and he might be able to do something)
- shared spaces were not so clean
- going to Manhattan by train may take 1 hour or even more during nights
