The host is very responsive and we checked in smoothly on our first date. It is close to the subway station, but it takes about an hour to arrive at Manhattan and Brooklyn, however, it is super close to flushing if you are looking to go and get some real Chinese food. You can hear the trains passing by at night and the floor might shatter a little, but it does not affect our sleeping quality. All of us slept well at night. Nice neighborhood and nice cafe around the area. It gives a chill vibe.
