The apartment was just what we were looking for - somewhere close to a subway to use as a base for exploring New York, but also with enough home comforts that we could stay in if we wanted.
The cable TV is good, the wifi is fast and best of all, the large bed was really comfortable. You can sometimes hear the subways going past, but nothing to worry about.
Literally four minutes away is Myrtle Avenue Broadway subway, which has the J, M and Z lines, so it's really easy to get to and from JFK, and also different areas of Manhattan. If you like a little walk, you can get up to the L line in about 15/20 minutes, and then you can get a subway to Williamsburg in no time.
The neighbourhood was pretty good too - not the fanciest, but there are some really good restaurants nearby (Calaca, Peach Hot House and Little Mo particularly), and there are a couple of convenience stories at the top of street.
Finally, Scott and Cathy were really good once we'd arrived - we didn't actually meet them properly, they kept out of the way upstairs, but answered a couple of email queries almost immediately, and we were got the impression they'd be right there if we needed them. Perfect.
If we were visiting New York again, we'd definitely stay at the apartment if it was available.
