The place looks exactly as in the pictures. Everything is brand new. I stayed for 5 months and absolutely loved it. I was working at JFK so the commute was super easy. You have the subway and different buses a few minutes away. You also have a supermarket, laundromat and pharmacies near. Checking in and out is super convenient and the place has everything to make you feel comfortable. If you are going into the city it may be a longer commute but the train takes you all the way there!
