I really loved staying at Elena's place. The room is exactly as disclosed. Sunny and clean. The neighbourhood may look a bit rough but is completly safe. If you like graffiti art, you will love this neighbourhood. The metro (L line) is just 300 meter away. The J line (to JFK) is just 10 minute walk away. Elena is a great host, easy to talk to and willing to meet your wishes (checking in earlier, checking out later). All in all a great place to stay and I will definitely come back.
