Sid's house is perfectly located, 2 blocks from the Q train station that takes you to Manhattan in 20 minutes. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, even late at night. There are shops very near (delis, supermarket, pizza places, Walgreen's, etc).
Sid was super friendly and always ready to help with tips of the city or directions.
I was so lucky too to meet other guests who were very nice!
I will definitely stay again if I return to NYC.
