Geoffrey was a great host. The apartment was clean and equipped various items that you may or may not need but is available, if you find that you do. (As an example, it rained while we were there, Geoffrey had umbrellas available.) I appreciated Geoffrey’s thoughtfulness, his kind gestures aided in our trip going smoothly. I had a rental car therefore can’t speak about the subway, however, if you’re renting a car; rent a compact if possible. I rented a Ford Focus, it was easy to park in small places and GREAT on gas. My daily commute varied, I traveled from Ozone Park to Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, and other areas. Each day, I did something different and avoided tolls while doing so, therefore my commute ranged from 30 to 50 minutes each time. I didn’t mind the travel time because I saw a new area along the way. The architecture of NY is unmatched. My favorite place to eat was Sofia’s Pizza which is about 7 minutes away from Geoffrey. ( I ate there 3 out of 5 nights. Service is great, food is delicious, and freshly made per order.) If I had to repeat this trip, I would do it all the same; starting with staying at Geoffrey’s.
