Great little place not too far from the city--it's about a 10-15 minute walk to several different subway stations and then about a 30 minute ride into the city on the subway (the M train will take you right into the heart of most things without any transfers). Stella and her son are great, accommodating, thoughtful, and communicative hosts! The stay reminded me of what it was like living in the suburbs of a big city and I enjoyed pointing out to my daughter that living outside the city and taking the train into work everyday is how most of the locals live!
