We had a great time when we stayed at Renèe's place. We had a warm welcome when we got there.
The accommodations that she was offering is a real gem in the neighborhood. It is exactly what it is on the photos and even better. We felt safe around the neighborhood even walking around 2 am. Pretty close to A and C trains so going in and out of Manhattan is not a problem. There's internet, a washer/dryer, full kitchen and a really clean bathroom.
The room is on the third floor so be prepared to take the stairs.
