We stayed here with Yolanda for just a day. The room is just basic but that's all you need because you are adventuring most of the day anyhow! We got a lift to and from the airport by Francisco her husband who was lovely he even got up at 4am to take us! Loved his music on our ride got us excited for our trip and he den gave us apples for breakfast! He's a taxi driver and it costs $35 each way.
The room is in queens and it's rather far out so don't expect to be in bright lights Manhattan. It takes about 45 min on the subway which is at the bottom of the street around the corner and it's only like $2 for 1 trip on subway to anywhere but they don't do day passes anymore. I felt abit intimidated by the area at first but it's fine to walk around. I personally would stop abit more central on my next visit. Usually I rent a full place out so just having a room was a new experience for us lovely family tho xx
