Cassandra's apartment is gorgeous: spacious, clean and stylish. Her room is great, and bigger than any other New York bedroom I've seen. Her roommates were very helpful, especially when I wasn't able to work out how to open the door first thing on a Saturday morning.

Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a fun, slightly 'edgy' neighborhood. If you are nervous in cities I perhaps wouldn't recommend staying in this area. The apartment building itself is very safe feeling, but there is some noise on the street and the local main street is busy late at night (bring earplugs).

In general, I would highly recommend staying in Cassandra's apartment.
