First off, the Airbnb was incredibly fabulous! Jean was super responsive and accommodated all of my requests.
The only issue was the distance it took to get to the city. It was a hop, skip, and jump to get there. I wish I could have packed it up his placed it right where I needed it.
As for newcomers to NYC or those unfamiliar with the city like myself, I recommend this place if you don't mind taking the city bus before getting to the train to get to your destination. I also thought it was pretty unique that these black police type of cars honked at you while you were waiting for the bus station. They would take you to your destination just like the taxi; they accept cash only. I've noticed that the B-train usually runs late, so if you are okay with spending extra money, go for it.
For Jean, I recommend that he post information in the description like transportation, food, or what's nearby for newcomers. It would be a lot easier for the visitors.
