The place is just as described. It’s in Queens which is an hour from Manhattan but just pick up a book at a bookstore and enjoy the ride. There’s bus stops nearby and a train station that’s about 10 minutes away. The neighborhood is cute and mostly quiet and completely walkable.
Just be careful because the walls are thin so you can sometimes hear the people above you moving around in the mornings if you like to sleep in. This just comes with the territory of having upstairs neighbors though so don’t worry too much about it.
All in all a great, clean place to come back to after a long day of exploring!
