We (family with children, 12 and 9 years old) really enjoyed our stay at this place. The apartment is surprisingly spacious, at least coming from Europe and knowing the living situation in big cities. I honestly cannot think of one thing of daily use that was missing. The kitchen was well appointed. After having been on a road trip before reaching NY it was nice to have washer and dryer. And as we stayed at the apartment in summer we were grateful that both bedrooms and the the living room/kitchen area had air-condition.
The next subway station isn’t far but it only serves the line G. Going to Manhattan we used a station a bit further away from where the lines A or C could be used (the A is also a connection to JFK airport). Several bus stations are just blocks away. And there seemed to be a mini market on almost every corner.
The apartment really seemed like a home away from home. Traveling with children it was nice to have a bit more space. We can definitely recommend it and hope to be back.
