She is a great host and the room is very clean and comfortable. Getting to the Virginia's house is very easy while you are coming from JFK. You don't need to deal with crowded A or E train. Just take quiet, less crowded J train and 30 minutes later you will be there. After the metro station her house is at just one minute walking distance. She welcomed me very well and the room was very clean (i should say i am a cleaning freak). Getting the Manhattan was so easy. It took 15 minutes after leaving house including walking part. So no need to stay in Manhattan. The bed was very comfortable and big. I slept like babies. The bathroom, shower was also very clean. If i come back to New York City i will definitely will stay at Virginia's house.
