Christina’s place was peaceful and calm and she was very communicative and helpful. The location is a little bit far from Manhattan (45 minutes on the C train) so you’ll need to be subway savvy but nothing that the CitiMapper app won’t be able to help with. The area is really safe and you’ll be ok getting to and from Christina’s at most if not all hours of the day by train and then walking. When I’m doubt, call an Uber or take the bus to get you closer to her spot from the subway.
There aren’t many restaurants, cafes, and fresh fruit and veg outlets around so make sure that you stock up on fresh fruit at least upon arrival.
Overall, I had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed having my own kitchenette and bathroom.
