We loved the area- Jackson Heights is a vibrant, diverse community with amazing food. There are tons of other amenities nearby (grocery, bodega, laundromat). The 7 train is 2 blocks away and the E/F/M/R trains another 10 minute walk
The place is spacious and a good place to crash. We felt that it was lacking a “homey” feel because it’s pretty bare bones. We had a little trouble with sleep because there is a bright light outside the bedroom window. The radiator makes a ton of noise although that is standard for old apartments like this. We also saw a few bugs in the kitchen as mentioned in other reviews but it didn’t bother us too much since we never cooked (seriously Jackson Heights has the best food!)
