Sammy’s place is a rare find in Brooklyn / Queens. His was the only Airbnb listing that I could find in my price range that had CENTRAL air conditioning. In fact, the A/C controlled from upstairs, was constantly running that we have to close the vents in the bedrooms at night. Also, be aware that Sammy’s place is right under the flight path for JFK international airport. Depending on the time of day, one can hear planes every few minutes, but you eventually get used to it. The Q10 Limited bus stop is right across the street which can take you to the A or E subway train to take you into Manhattan. We flew in from LaGuardia so we had to get an Uber/Lyft to get to his place, but if you fly into JFK, I believe that you can ride the AirTrain for free. In the daytime, I saw pilots and flight attendants walking on the sidewalks with their luggage in tow so it is pretty safe. In addition, there is a Key Food supermarket just 2 blocks away which had everything we were looking for in a grocery store. Sammy was very responsive to all of my questions / concerns and even let us check-in early. When I mentioned that it would be nice to have a pitcher, a lovely glass pitcher was immediately delivered. I would definitely stay at Sammy’s place the next time I’m visiting NYC.
