The 3 of us were there to attend the US Open at Flushing Meadows. Found the location ideal as it was about a 25 minute walk through parkland to the location of the Blue Bus zone for the US Open which took about 10 minutes by bus to get you to the entrance at the tennis venue.

Citi Park for Mets games is located right beside the tennis location as well as a subway that you can take to get into Manhattan. If walking to Citi Park it would take about 45 minutes through the parks along the small lakes and past the soccer fields.

It was also an easy 20 - 25 minute walk on Jewell to Queens Blvd to catch the closest subway (Forest Hill/70 St) to Manhattan which we took to take in Central Park, museums, plays and Times Square.

Queens Blvd/Forest Hills also had a variety of restaurants and shops. We especially liked the food at Biu Bella which was very delicious and well priced.

Grocery shopping on Main St. is conveniently located about 4 - 6 short blocks away.

Some of the earlier comments from previous parties had mentioned some challenges with the shower, tv, internet and parking but we found all worked to our satisfaction and were fortune to find parking right outside the front door where we left the vehicle for the 6 days we were there.

The accommodations were spacious and the area was very safe for walking around at night when we returned from tennis or dinner.

So in summary a good place to stay and would consider coming back again as we continue to explore NYC.
