GREAT location, especially from LaGuardia, and an easy ride to JFK too. It's a short walk to a grocery store, and even closer to markets, 24-hour drug store and everything from sushi, Greek, Mexican, etc.
The subway (R was our mainstay, but E & F too) is RIGHT there and a short ride can get you to Battery Park, Central Park, or... This is a quiet location, far enough off a bus-served, commercial thorofare, but close enough to get to the city, even a full on grocery store is walking distance. The neighborhood has a diverse mix of restaurants that we really miss from our days of living on Chicago's north side.
The unit itself has been updated, it's roomy and clean and well appointed with a comfty couch, entertainment options, nice dining table (we had 4-1/2 for meals) with power readily available. For those traveling from other countries, several power strips, and outlets, have USB sockets. The kitchen is well stocked with glasses, pans & plates. While we enjoyed the dining options, it's nice having breakfast in during a long weekend where Grandma & Grandpa are babysitting, before heading out to the zoo, or walking over to the park.
The downside to the unit is that it only has 1 bathroom, but we did not spend that much time in the bathroom that it turned out to be a problem. We spent more time planning our Zoo trips (Queens Zoo, Bronx Zoo, Staten Island Zoo, & The Central Park Zoo).
