Staying at this place was indeed a satisfactory experience. Terrance was an attentive host - he welcomed me not only with his infamous pack of beer in the fridge, but even presented me with a bottle of wine. It was a real pleasure to see that the apartment was squeaky clean when I arrived, and just everything was set and ready. Terrance kindly invited me to dinner, he bought for me and delivered a new mattress pad of really good quality - and he stayed in touch through all the term. The apartment had just anything you need for everyday living - two cable TVs, a great gas stove, a microwave, a toaster, a coffee machine, plenty of kitchen and bathroom stuff... any necessary amenity you could imagine. The Internet connection was flawless. The loud music from neighbors was a downside, but the neighborhood itself was peaceful and safe, even late at nights. (Also, like other reviewers mentioned, the local police dept is just on the corner). The subway is in 3 mins walk, and you can get to Manhattan easy and relatively fast - I just recommend you to always transfer to express "A" train which skips stops, on Broadway Junction station - this way it`s gonna be so much quicker. Also, the place is very near to JFK airport.
