The apartment is a separate apartment within a family home, in the middle of Jackson Heights. It was very clean and exactly what we were looking for during our stay in NYC. We wanted a place that wasn't as expensive as a hotel stay in Manhattan with more space than a cramped hotel room, and it's located just 2 small blocks from the subway which brings you directly to Manhattan. Just note that there is no living or common room, but has 2 bedrooms with kitchen and breakfast area, but plenty of space for a family of 4 (2 small kids). Karen, the host's sister, and her father were very informative and responsive. A pleasant stay.
