Sidney is such a friendly host making us feel very free to use the house like if we were at home. The house is old and needs some repairs, specially in the bath which has no shower head and in the windows which blinders are broken. But considering average NYC prices this is an excelent cost effective deal. The place is located in a safe and pleasant area just 5 min walk to the subway Q which takes us to Manhattan is 20 minutes. The area has also markets, laundery, coffee shops and a street market in the weekends. A car service will take you to JFK in 30 minutes. The room is not huge but it accommodatês two people very well — a bit small for three though. I reccomend this place and would rent it again. Thank you Sidney
