This is a great location and great place. If you are looking for a convenient spot this is it. About 20 minutes away from jfk and 10 minutes to the J train that will take you to Manhattan.
I took a lyft from jfk to the house which wasn't that bad (I do believed I got ripped off, the guy went around 2 blocks extra to increase my fare) I end up being 28 when I know my ride should've been at 24 at most. Anyways, I had an easy check in process, there was a key waiting for me at my room and everything I needed to make my stay comfortable.
The area felt safe. I would come back around 11pm and it was a nice short walk back to the house.
I met Antonio the last day of my stay by him giving me a lift to the airport. Which is a bonus!! Just $15.
