Overall great experience in the city. Proximity to Manhattan and connections to the JFK Airport are great but the vibe and mood specially in the evening in the neighborhood is tense and we felt that we should be a little bit on guard when exiting the subway to the apartment. Our room windows were towards the backyard so it was quiet and peaceful. We also had a fan and an AC in the room which saved our night.
I found the mattress to be relatively soft to our taste.
We didn't get to meet our hosts but their instructions were very clear.
Overall price-quality ratio is excellent and everything that were described turned out to be just as we expected, even a bit better.
