The apartment is really great. We were welcomed from Malose the housekeeper, who showed us around. Everything in the apartment is very well organised. From bed to couch till the great kitchen with everything needed and the bathroom. We really felt like locals in the neighbourhood. It gets only 25 minutes to downtown and a couple more till uptown Manhattan. There are groceries stores and convenient stores around. The metro station (M) to get to Manhattan is just 3 minutes away. Also great connection to JFK with the J line. Station is only 10 minutes on foot away. All in all a great option when visiting New York. We recommend it to everyone!
