Queens corner lot is a great choice to get to the city once you’ve figured out the public transport. You will need to get a subway pass from queens village, this will give you access to the busses and subway not the LIRR though.
About 1 1/4 hours to Central Park, but if you get up early you can get all done. We had a 2 year old and managed so anything is possible.
The property is as described and is in great condition. There is a bit of road traffic, but no more than any inner city property.
The team at queens court are very helpful and very knowledgable of the area, very welcoming always trying to solve any issues you may have. Like noisy neighbours.
All in all a good first experience with airbnb.
