Awesome place to stay in New York. I was here for two months while working in Manhattan and it is perfect for that -- quiet and comfortable. Being near the first stop on the N and Q is great for commuting in the morning as you will always get a seat on the train, and rarely have to wait outside. Nancy and Rob were extremely nice and even managed to get the steps shoveled immediately after we got 2+ feet of snow. They were always helpful and available and interacting with them is a pleasure. The area is a good mix of quiet residential and some shops, and there's a park less than a mile away if you like to run. Highly recommended!
