After landing at JFK from Germany we took the Airtrain to Jamaica Station and then the LIRR to Penn Station. From there its just a minute walk which we didn't mind after the long flight. James greeted us personally and was very helpful in answering any questions we had. Location was awesome and apartment was as described and surprisingly quiet for being in N.Y. ;-) Allover an awesome stay.
P.S one thing to bear in mind . If you are over 6.1 ft. or 1,86 m, the bed might be a tad small , but we didn't mind for the 3 nights we stayed.
