It was absolutely ok for the price we paid. A really quiet neighbourhood. Perfect for sleepovers between sightseeing days. There's a supermarket within 10 mins walking distance, strip malls with fast food and deli also within 8-10 mins. Bus B17 takes you to downtown Brookly in about 25 mins. With bus B42 it's ten mins to Sebway L Rockaway pkwy station then some 40 mins to mid Manhatten. So it takes you about 45mins to an hour to get to West Brookly or Manhatten. Tennants live on the upper floor and they smoke so in the hallway of the house and around the bathroom of the apartment from time to time you can smell smoke. Othet then that it was a good experience.
