The Big Blue Loft met my needs perfectly. I had no trouble getting to the loft from JFK using Airtrain and the subway. I was able to get into Manhattan via subway easily, as well. The neighborhood had enough nearby food options to make it easy to grab a quick dinner before going home for the evening, but there weren't a lot of choices. Overall a nice place to stay. Julia gave me a ton of information when I arrived which made it a lot easier to get around, too.
