Great place, spacious, with modern design and home owner personal touch. For us it was perfect place to relax after day spent on visiting Manhatan.
Hosts are very kind and helpful. quickly responding to questions.
for us travel to Manhatan took about 1h, as we expected. With bus (bus stop next to the building) and metro. one thing to mention is that area where we transfer from bus to metro in Jamaica was not very nice, especialy after dark. there was visible police presence in the area so it was probably safe but nevertheless little creepy. we decided to use uber on those occasions we want to come back late.
as for area of the apartment itself we had an impresion it was safe.
all in all, if you accept way and time of travel to Manhatan this apartment is defenitly worth to recommend to stay in :)
