Jamaica Station (Suitphin Blvd, there are 2 Jamaica Stations) Is where the AirTran to JFK ends. $5 from JFK. Many subway and bus lines crisscross there also. Harry's is about 1,000 ft away. I just walked it, pulling my roller suitcase. I was told that this was a safe area and I never had any worries, or drama. But, I am a 6' 2" man. Please do your own research.
I liked the room and the location VERY much! It was easy to get into Manhatten. In fact, I arrived from Newark Airport EWR, easily on the various AirTrans and subways. Buy your ticket for subway or bus in the Subway Stations, and rarely at bus stops. NOT on the bus.
I use my computer a LOT and the WiFi was excellent and there was a good computer table and a good dining table that worked well for my 2nd computer, etc. There are MANY electrical outlets! Many great mirrors, a large dresser and a place to hang clothes and stack clothing, etc. The bed (shown in the photo) was very comfortable for me.
They supplied me with small amounts of cooking oil, sugar, etc. Even loaves of bread and yoghurt. There are pots and silverware and dishes for two. There is a single electric hot plate that worked very well, but do not use it at the same time as the electric kettle. There is a full size, refrigerator, but toward the smaller end of full size. It has a nice freezer. I use AirBnB a LOT and I give them Grade A! I had my own entrance and keys. It was very quiet and clean and no odors.
There is a small grocery 2 blocks away that was open Sunday AM. Many markets, restaurants, cell phone stores, etc within a mile. I walked all over and bussed, etc.
There is no Air Conditioning, but there was a large fan that can blow across the bed. I visited in Aug, and it was hot, but, with the fan, I was just fine. If you hate Hot Weather, the other 3 seasons may be better. I saw baseboard electric heat and they had blankets.
You get the idea. I loved it!
