Alexia is a good touch for the house. The SmartTV is a plus for a conected user like me. Loved the decoration and the fully inspirational place. The neighborhood have some loud noise at fridays night but i think that is the spanish party blood talking lol.
There is a McDonalds and DunkinDonuts near the house and several options of little local markets and one big market with a lot of good food options and good prices.
Next to the house theres a blue and red subway line that makes all the distance problems desapears! It takes more and less 20 minutes to get to Times Square by subway. I stayed 10 days using subway to go in everything and use Uber only once (to go to the big Target at Bronx that is less than 10 minutes by car and worth the visit).
To JFK i tooked 1 hour by Super Shuttle, being the last one picked up (house->JFK). From JFK i tooked 3 hour by Suped Shuttle because of traffic and being the last one to be dropped off.
Stephen is a great guy with a inspirational home full of decoration and details that make your stay very confortable and you begin to think that you r a local!
Highly recommended and i certainly will come back!
