I was a lost tourist in the area and I had a pretty serious panic attack but the hostess helped give me the confidence I needed to believe I could make it to the air bnb driving. The entire family was very friendly and even the neighbors were willing to help us find our way around. We took several modes of transportation including ferry boat, bus and uber. It was very convenient to JFK airport and is in a safe neighborhood. Also the family dog Lola is awesome.
