The home itself is very clean and nicely designed. Bathroom is spotless, rooms are spotless, and access to a shared kitchen and private bath were also great plusses. The host is always willing to go out of his way to assist in any manner. Being close to JFK, it is a great place if you need somewhere to crash to catch a flight. Getting to Manhattan requires taking a bus/train/metro (two or more of the options in most of the routes) and does take some travel time. The front door is code-access, which means no need for a key (which is convenient). There are keys for the rooms in which we stay in to secure our belongings. Overall, I would definitely come again if I travel in the area. Thank you!
