Linda's apartment was nice, clean and a private area from the rest of the house. We enjoyed our stay and felt safe in the ridgewood neighborhood (we left the windows open all night with no hesitations). The subway was a short walk away from the apartment and a great selection of groceries/coffee/food were nearby. We chose this place because it would be in the middle of Manhattan and Brooklyn and Flushing, where we were going to attend the US Open. However, we learned that the subway did not conveniently reach Flushing from her apartment and we had to do a long bus ride (so would advise a different location if coming specifically for the US Open). Other than that, we had a great trip by being able to stay at Linda's place and we appreciate her kindness and generosity that she showed us. If we come back to NY, we would definitely choose to stay here again!
