Nina's place was a great value and a great location. It was exactly as described and was very charming. The location was a block away from the C train and we had a huge selection of places to eat and explore within a 1 mile radius. It is within walking distance to Barclays and even though we had to walk late at night from the station close to Barclays due to the C line being serviced that weekend, we always felt safe. We never met Nina but she was very accommodating and was nice enough to bring a hair dryer when we requested it.
Her roommates were also very nice. It is definitely a great place to stay whether you're staying in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
