Howard beach beautiful location was a solo traveler so I took a lot of Uber however it’s pricey to go far and you can just take a bus to the train and get any where or Uber to train station for cheap and you can save a lot on getting around.
The Air bnb is just like pictures very cozy and cute it does get cold in NY so be prepared. Love that the access is secured I felt very safe alone. The host responds quickly and was very nice. My favorite part is the amazing shower and bathroom I also enjoyed people walk by while sitting outside before I headed out to my festivities.

Hope this was helpful
