It's a great place for the money. About an hour on the subway into manhattan but shorter during the day (if you take the LIRR) from Rosedale station (6 minutes uber from the house). so if you plan to enjoy night life in Manhatta, prepare for uber at night (I am not sure the LIRR runs into the night) etc. If not then Hannah's place is great for enjoying local restaurants in the rosedale area and commuting daytime into Manhattan.
