This is a lovely spacious house, well decorated and furnished, lovely crockery and kitchen ware and with all the basics so you're not having to rush to the shops to even make a coffee. Very close to the subway and JFK airport - it cost us $26 including tip by taxi. Tom was very prompt, both in confirming the booking and responding to minor queries.

The location is very far from Manhattan, so if you're planning to spend every day there, you'll struggle as it's about an hour door-to-door to Times Square. The neighbourhood is also pretty tough, as in policeman-on-the-street-corners-at-night-tough. The area comes with a pretty bad reputation as I found out from my uncle and a friend of mine who came to pick me up one evening. My cousin and I, however, didn't feel unsafe at any point, but think it's worth mentioning.
