Ester's place is located very close to the light rail and to excellent local shops. The neighborhood is quiet, clean & safe. We were less than 10 minutes away from LGA (20 min by public bus) and logistics to Manhattan were simple, straightforward and inexpensive using public transportation. The room was clean and fresh (no smells of smoke or animals) and the fruit she provided in the morning for breakfast was a nice touch. Ester, thank you for opening your wonderful house and your heart to us on our trip!
