Anastacia's place was very clean and spacious. Her family is amazing and very accommodating. They invited us to their Christmas dinner which was just fantastic. The neighborhood was probably not what we expected but we do come from a small city. Subway is not near but there is a bus line across the complex that you can take to a near subway station. It is about 2 hrs away from JFK if you do subway and 1 hr away from tourist attractions by subway (times square, Manhattan, Soho, Chinatown etc). If you don't mind the location, this is a very comfortable and clean room. Anastacia did offer to drive us around subway area but we did not want to impose. She is very communicative and will share information regarding your whereabouts if need to.
