The apt was, cozy and clean with lots of charm. It is located in a nice Queens nieghborhood where you can get some wonderful Indian food. The two stations are about 10 min walk and a minimum of a 25 min ride into Manahatten. Be aware that there are limited trains on weekends. Taxis will cost 25-30$ from Manhatten. The apt. has everything you might need to be comfortable. That said a guide would be helpful or, if there was someone that could show one around the apt as we could not find it at first, nor could we find the lights to the kitchen.
