The apartment was located so very conveniently to the train station. This made it great for our trips in to Manhattan. We averaged about 45 minutes per trip into and out of Manhattan. There was a construction detour on the direct line into Manhattan, but we were able to adjust our trips to use connecting lines quite easily.
Most importantly, the apartment was very clean. Everything we needed was provided, the apartment itself was comfortable and we never had a problem with the noise (except on the day we left when the city works staff decided to jackhammer the sidewalk at 7am). Hearing the trains going by was almost like listening to the heartbeat of the city.

Street parking is a first come basis, and make sure to read the street signs for what days the city comes by to clean it. Arriving later in the day meant we had to park down the street from the building, but it was never more than 1 block away, and we never had a problem. We managed to get our car in front of the property by moving it early one morning.

Verena and Donald were in contact with us as we arrived and also throughout the stay for anything we needed to ask.

If you are looking to stay within a budget, want cleanliness and comfort, and need to have convenient transit to Manhattan or JFK airport, you won't go wrong here.
