I chose to book Ilya's place because it had 2 bedrooms, was close to St John's University, and past reviews mentioned plenty of on street parking. I was not disappointed. I had no trouble finding parking each day and it was an easy walk to the express bus straight to Manhattan or the local bus to catch the subway. The neighborbood was very quiet and safe. I never felt uncomfortable walking alone at night or during the day. The space is also very comfortable and had all the basic amenities (fridge, microwave, kitchenette, linens). We didnt have any issues while we were there. I would definitely stay again!
