Joy's home is a wonderful place for those who want to explore Manhattan but escape from the noise. The location is pretty good, about 10minutes walk to Newkirk Plaza Station (Where you can take line B and Q) and about 10-minute walk to Flatbush(where you can take line 5 and more lines are available).
Incredibly, Joy's home has everything you need! And Joy is very very hospitable! She showed us how to use the metro card. Also, Joy made two large handbooks from which you can get any information about New York's transportation, tours, restuarants...
My parents and I had a great time staying with Joy!
