Harold’s place was as described and easy enough to access once we arrived but we didn’t realize that two of the lines we thought to take from the airport to get to the apartment were not operating on weekends (the J from Jamaica Station and the L).
Once we arrived though, check in was easy and we were happy to be there. It was a quiet neighborhood and we were happy to walk around to find dinner and a grocery store to buy stuff for breakfast.
The apartment building smelled a bit like cleaning solution and the linens were washed in extremely fragrant detergent. We are a family that uses free and clear soap so we found this detail a bit overwhelming. The beds were a traditional spring mattress but were comfy enough. However, at 3 and 5 am a flood light went off in the backyard directly into the bedroom windows and the curtains are very thin. This was frustrating as it looked bright enough to be daytime and since there aren’t clocks in the bedrooms and there isn’t space for a nightstand next to the bed I couldn’t see what time it was and was fully awake before I realized how early it was. I went to go to the couch in the living room while my family slept but the apartment was not extremely warm and there weren’t any extra blankets to warm up with.
The place was a good stay over for our visit but the things I mentioned were things I wish I had known prior to our visit.
