Trains, planes but no automobiles
The location is convenient to Rego Park subway and shops. Lots of local restaurants.
It is however very noisy...I had to purchase earplugs to sleep as the trains run directly behind the house and the descent flightpath into JFK is overhead . The central heating is also really noisy.
The neighbourhood feels quite safe for getting around. Also the is no wifi- an issue if you're an international guest as data plans aren't great in the US. Also no kettle! Had to stove boil water for tea and coffee.
Stay for the convenience and price but not for peace and quiet
