My boyfriend and I stayed here on a 5 day trip to NYC, the location of Tzvi's place is perfect to get into the city, less than a 10 minute walk to Briarwood station and close by from JFK airport. As far as the neigborhood, there are some shops around to get some basic food or a takeaway, but not much more than that. I would recommend definitely to watch the Youtube video that Tzvi sends that shows you the surrounding area, and exactly what to expect in the flat. We would stay again!
