The street was a pleasant tree lined neighborhood and the home was clean for the most part other than our bedding. Street parking is somewhat limited due to several cars on the street if you are planning on driving. The walking distance to the train stations(3,4) about 5/6 blocks & (C) about 8 blocks aren't bad at all, but I can't imagine making it loaded down with luggage. Plenty or local bus stops as well, the neighborhood felt quite safe to walk around in. The space was private, but a bit noisy in the am from the little ones running around especially if you are planning to sleep in late. Otherwise it was very centrally located to Queens, Manhattan and local shops.
