It is a great place to stay. The metro stations to go anywhere are really close and you can move around even if you don’t know anything. Just get your subway map in hand and you can go anywhere for less than $10.
Carolle is a great host and will help you with anything you need.
Be aware that the Airport is a bit away so be prepared from jfk a taxi can cost around $55 and and Uber to get there is about the same. It is a really nice space and has everything you’ll need for your stay. The neighborhood is super nice, safe and has many restaurants and if you walk 15min you can go to a mall or do shopping or a bit of night life.
