Ravanna is a very responsive host. We checked in easily and his brother welcomed us and gave us a briefing about the flat and the environment. The place is very nice and equiped with everything that a family needs. It is walking distance to A and C subway station. 35 minutes from JFK and 25 minutes to manhattan with the train. You can even take every bus 100m away from the flat to the metro station if you don't want to walk 5 mins.
I hope our kids did not disturb you a lot waking up according to German time in the middle of the night.
