It was in a pretty good location - lots of Asian stores in the vicinity. We took a cab from JFK airtrain Jamaica Station which took 10-15 minutes ($20-25). Host recommended a bus which would have been cheaper but it would have taken us longer and we didnt want that at 8pm in a foreign city. The next day we walked into Flushing town which took 15 minutes, but it was a nice and levelled walk. From there we took a metro into Manhattan. The room was clean and very warm, host gave us slippers to wear indoors. The walls are a little thin but we slept well. The host was very friendly.
