I love Danielle's place! It is around the corner from the M train, and you can take that train straight into Manhattan. Even in the middle of the night when the M Train full service is down, you can take the L or J or F trains from Manhattan and then the M Train shuttle from Myrtle or Myrtle-W (two or three stops down). I stayed alone, and felt extremely safe in the neighborhood even in the middle of the night, which was relieving since this was my first trip to NY. There are numerous late-night and all day food options in the area, and the neighbors are welcoming too.
As far as the room itself, it is very large with plenty of room to move around. There is a closet with hangers and a lot of drawer space. Trust me, you will not use all of the drawers. There are locks on all the doors, and you have your own private entrance. There is a half-bathroom right outside the bedroom door which I consider to be private since I don't think anyone else ever used it the entire month I stayed there. There is a downstairs living room next to the bedroom that also is almost never occupied.
Danielle has lots of household amenities available, and ladies let me tell you I appreciated those "amenities" one morning when I was unprepared. Enough said. Also some snacks saved me when I was feeling lazy, and there was lots of toilet paper in the cabinet so I didn't have to bother anyone about it.
Basically, for me this was the perfect place to stay. Even though I have stayed as a guest at people's homes many times, I am still at heart a private person. I hate getting in the way or being an inconvenience, and I NEVER felt that way at Danielle's house. I could come home any time of the night since I had my own door, I never had to wait to use the toilet since I had my own next to my room, and since I basically had the bottom floor to myself I could play my audio books on my speaker without bothering anyone. There also was no noise that I ever heard from Danielle or her mysterious Japanese roommate (who I only saw once in passing.)
Even though I almost never used it, there was a space for me to use in the refrigerator and I believe there was a kitchen shelf for me. I wasn't there enough to really make use of it - though I did use the gas stove to make Cuban coffee a few times.
I already have plans to stay here again for another upcoming month. When I was looking for a place I was looking for a place with a private bathroom in a safe area near a train. Check Check Check. Also, it didn't hurt that Danielle is extremely nice. You should consider this as a good option.
