This place is about half an hour train ride to Manhatten. But if you want to go anywhere outside of Manhatten, such as Brooklyn and Flushings, prepare for 45-60min ride. I think the transfers between the bus to Journal Square and Path train took the longest. Aside from that, the place is spacious enough for 3-4 people and you have your own kitchen and living room, which are hard to get with this price in New York.
