The neighbourhood is really chilled out and it felt really safe. We came from the UK and we were a bit worried about staying in New York and whether or not we'd be safe, but it was honestly a really calm place to stay.
The flat was filled with lots of little thought touches such as antibacterial cream, pots and pans, and soaps.
The each room for sleeping has a ceiling fan, which was really useful for us as it was very hot that week.
And it was excellent value for money and really close to the JFK Airtrain.
I'd recommend it
