My stay was quite all right. Melbourne is a great host and when we arrived and had issues with WIFi and heating he promptly came to support us and did his best to improve our experience. The shower is quite amazing and the bed is comfy. The surroundings are very calm and easy to get to the subway line Q and B take you to Manhattan in about 30/40 minutes which is quite good. If it is your first time staying in NY you might prefer to be in Manhattan close to the buzz, but for me was nice to walk around an area of Brooklyn that still has some character. Also, Melbourne let us check out a bit later which was very good for us.
