Claudette is very friendly, helpful and quick to reply. Her place is more than just a private bedroom, it is like a small basement apartment with a private bathroom and a living room (with a tv, microwave, fridge, etc) and a private entrance. It was very clean and comfortable. Claudette even provided bagels, water, coffee and everything needed for a good stay! Her house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood where there is room to park. It is very close to JFK and there is a Long Island Rail Road station less than a mile away (easy walk to it) that takes you directly to Penn Station. I would recommend Claudette's place to anyone who wants to visit NYC and to travelers who need a nice place to stay before a flight out of JFK! Thank you for your hospitality!
