Property was as described in the listing. Very clean and all amenities described were present and in good standing ( kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, living room with TV with all cable channels you would want, Netflix, YouTube, good wifi)
Pauline is a great host very easy to communicate with
For me it was important to have coffee in the morning and the coffee machine and pods in the kitchen did the trick.
Pauline also provides on arrival usual hotel toiletries and towels. Clean linens and comfy pillows and mattress.
Please note that for safety reasons Pauline will provide the entry codes only at or little after checkin time. For me it didn't matter as I checked in late at about 10 pm (but still I bugged the host with messages asking for the codes in advance).
At 5 minutes walk on Rockaway there's a pharmacy, a fast food restaurant and a convenience store ( if you need to buy water beer, chips or other snacks).
Five minute walk to the Q40 bus stop that takes you to Jamaica Station where you can catch a subway or LIRR train to Manhattan. A trip from Pauline to Penn Station in Manhattan takes about 1 hour using Q40 and LIRR and costs about 10 bucks depending on the time of the day you take the ride.
I paid for taxi from JFK at 10 pm 16 dollars including tip, and for Uber at 9 am to JFK 18 dollars including 2 dollars tip.
Highly recommend if you don't mind the 1 hour trip to/from Manhattan. Thank you Pauline
for being such a great and accommodating host!
