Excellent choice to stay in NYC! Doug's home is clean and very spacious. The house is at street level, and my room was the one facing the street. The apartment is kept clean, the bed is super comfortable and the room has plenty of space.
Doug spoke with me on the phone before I arrived, and gave me advice on finding the apartment and also the best route to get back to JFK to drop off my rental. The location is excellent - just a few minutes walk to the subway and bus stops, and to the LIRR if you need to get to JFK. Manhattan is also just a few stops away.
Overall, highly recommended.
