This apartment was so close to a couple of the subway stations. This was our first time in NY, so one of my biggest fears was the transportation. Definitely no need for a car, as this place was literally around the corner from the entrance of Rockaway. Plenty of small convenient stores if anything extra was needed. The apartment itself was clean and spacious enough for 5. We we’re getting back late at night (around midnight every night) and for the most part, felt safe walking from the train station to the apartment. This is a great deal for the $$.
