Lei was really lovely. I stayed at Lei's place for few weeks and really enjoyed my time there. I had to go to work in Manhattan everyday but was able to have a relaxing time while I was back home. The house is clean and there were always extra toilette papers ready there. It's around 45 to 50 mins away from Manhattan depends on where you go and the house is very close to subway station. You can get Q or B train from the subway station close to the house. Hope you enjoy your stay at Lei's place like I did.
