Great location for the price. At first the area seems very residential (which is nice if, like us, you don’t want the overwhelming hustle and bustle of Manhattan) but there is actually a lot of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. We loved Botani at the corner and Foxy Mama for cocktails / burgers. A great deal if you’re happy to travel into the city. It probably takes 40 minutes minimum but the place is located fairly equidistantly from two major lines. Easy to get to from JFK airport too. Just watch out for any track maintenance!
Place was clean and the bed was comfortable. Thoughtfully the host had left toiletries so you can travel a bit lighter.
