Maria's place worked out well for us. It was very clean and in a great location with several coffee shops and bars close by. It's also walking distance to Franklin Ave (which is loaded with restaurants and bars) and close to Botanical Gardens/Prospect Park/Brooklyn Museum. The only con was the single AC unit in the bedroom...since NYC had a major heat wave that weekend, the bedroom was the only room to comfortably reside in. Another AC in the living room or kitchen would be a great addition!
