After a 15 minute Uber ride from LaGuardia Airport, my wife and I were warmly welcomed into Chuck’s home and given a tour of his apartment. It was neat, clean, and exactly as described. The walls are a bit thin, but we spent most of our time being tourists by day and only needed a place to sleep at night. The queen sized bed is very firm, which is different from what I am used to, but my wife found it cozy and comfortable.
There a plenty of places to eat in and around the neighborhood, all within walking distance…Chinese food, Colombian food, Pizza, Popeye’s Chicken, and McDonalds to name a few. There are also nearby drug stores and a Target. We felt safe in the apartment as well as in the neighborhood.
There is a bus stop located right at the corner and the subway is only a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. Depending on where you’re going, plan on at least a 45 minute train ride to the other Burroughs.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
