This place is absolutely fantastic! What you see in the pictures is exactly what it is with no filters or weird angles. It was much bigger than I thought and we had a big, comfy bed, kitchen with fridge, stove, sink, microwave, big bathroom, closet, and two couches. It has a very big TV (which we didn't use much, but enjoyed having). The place is sparkling clean and the bathroom looks new.
The place is strategically close to JFK airport, for affordable Uber rides, and at a 5-minute walking distance to the subway station to Manhattan(where we spent most of the time)(rides to Manhattan take close to 1-hour, you should plan for that).
We never felt unsafe inside, and you have many delis(new yorker for convenience stores), fast food, and dollar stores right there, to stock up on supplies for the day(New York is a VERY expensive city so having this close was perfect).
Marlene is an excellent host, very easy to communicate with, friendly, fast response, and even helped me quickly with an issue I had locking myself out(my fault). Checking in and out of the place is as easy as 123.
We were on a budget, so this place was perfect without compromising amenities you only get in 5-star hotels. If you are visiting NYC, you can't go wrong with this place and Marlene will give you a 5-star hotel treatment. Thank you Marlene, I hope you keep getting more guests that enjoy their stay as much as we did.
