Great place with a lot to offer around you ( grocery store, mall, corner stores, etc). In walking distance to the bus that can be used to get to the train station. If your looking to site see, it is very close to the JFK airport, but your about 40 mins or so from the touristy attractions of New York ( times square, Coney island, etc.). But honestly you can't beat the price! Its a quiet neighborhood and we felt safe/comfortable walking around ( even when coming back around midnight). The host is very nice and responds quickly to messages or fixing any other needs. I would stay here again. Just a side note, they are doing construction nearby, if your staying over the weekend its no big deal. The projection looks almost complete though.
