We chose Vivian's place because of its proximity to JFK airport and because it was noted on its ad that it could store luggage. unfortunately he said he could only keep it until 12:00...and that was non-negotiable. Also, we probably got the wrong code on the first day and couldn't open the door. Vivian told us several times that we hadn't read her explanation, that was wrong.
But other than that his house is clean, 10min walk + 30min Subway to most places to see.
