I'm a pretty picky traveler, I like things modern and clean and this place does not disappoint. Right next to the house is a park that gets pretty busy with kids and a basketball court. The subway is a block and a half away and gets you to time square in about 40 min. Doesn't really feel that long though because its a scenic ride. Safe area, my 90+ year old grandma walks around this neighborhood at 11pm. A/C in every room. I rented a minivan and had no problems with parking, Driving it was 30 Min to JFK, 30 min drive to Costco, 15 min to Coney Island and the Aquarium. No Washer/Dryer but there is a laundromat before the subway station. Overall great stay, my mom's already talking about coming here again. Almost forgot, they stock the fridge with drinks and snacks so when we arrived it was refreshing to have a cold drink!
