The studio is conveniently located in a lively neighbourhood with plenty of small grocery stores and cafés/restaurants nearby. If you are a light sleeper, earplugs might be useful due to some noise in the building. There is a lift too. It was easy to travel to both JFK and LaGuardia, the latter being a mere 20 minutes or so away via a direct bus which was available from a station only a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
