Apartament was ok, nothing special nor anything bad. During my stay there was one totally empty room, no furniture or anything in there. Bedroom is on the street side, so there is noise from Long Island Expy 24/7. If you have problems to sleep in noise, this is not for you.
Apartament is not easist place to go by public transportation. On the other hand, when you get familiar with the buss routes, things get easy.
Maspeth is a safe and pleasant place to live.
