I stayed at Tash's place 5 nights. Checking- in was a breeze. Tash was waiting for me and helped me with my carry-on up the 3 floors. Bus B15 stops right in front and comes direct from JFK so you don't need to make any transfers. This is a big perk! My room was very nicely decorated with a big TV. The kitchen was at my disposal and the Deli right across the street is well stocked. As far as cleanliness goes ,I give it a 10. To catch the subway you can either walk to the J line ( rather long walk) or take bus B26 which drops you at the station . It is a short ride. I highly recommend Tash"s place and will definitely return on future trips.
