The entrance to the apartment block was a bit run down and the stair well very dark and gloomy however the apartment was beautiful - very homely and comfortable, it is located about 5 mins walk from a subway station (30th Avenue) near to a supermarket, cafes and bars. The subway ride to 5th Avenue took about 15 mins making it an ideal location to stay. The Uber taxi to JFK Airport cost about $36.00. Maristela's friend met us on arrival to hand over the keys and show us around the apartment. From what we saw it seemed like a safe location to stay. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
