The apartment is conveniently located close to the subway, but it's also close enough to JFK and LGA that taking a taxi to and from the airport isn't expensive. The apartment itself is bigger than you can see on the picture. It was very clean and all useful amenities were provided. Both bedrooms are at the back of the apartment, which means they are away from the street, and thus pretty quiet. There are several take-out places and restaurants in the neighborhood, as well as a few small grocery stores. You can be in Manhattan in less than 30 minutes, and in Midtown in about 40-45 minutes.
