I had a lovely time! As a woman travelling alone, I wanted to find a neighborhood where I'd feel safe coming and going. Cherry's neighborhood is the safest one I've ever seen in all of NYC! All of my apprehensions melted away when I got off the bus and went for a stroll. The surrounding area is residential and quiet. I slept well and heard only one siren - rare for NYC!
The studio was clean and cheerfully decorated. Communicating with Cherry was enjoyable. I recommend her place, especially for anyone who needs to get to or from the airport. The Q30 and Q31 stop right on the corner of Cherry's place, and by connecting to the Airtrain at the Jamaica LIRR stop, you can be at the airport in just under an hour.
