The best thing about this home is that it has it's own kitchen. We loved this to make breakfast and lunch each day so we didn't have to eat out all the time. The L-train is super close, only a few blocks away, but do be prepared to spend at least an hour each way to get into the city using trains and a Lyft or Uber is about $40 based on where you go into the city. The home is nice and the neighborhood is nice. If we were to do New York again, we would like pay more to stay in the city, but if you're looking to be out of the city, this is a great option.
