We stayed 3 nights at Dani s' place. Her place is very cozy and comfortable and reasonably warm at winter nights. She has a great kitchen. It is so well equipped and well maintained.
Just next to her house are many grocery shop and tons of reasonably priced eateries. The subway station is 5 mints walk, it takes you to Manhattan to airports , very well connected and safe. I took Amy s' help to book taxi to JFK .It is highly recommended as they are very punctual and less pricey than yellow cabs.
Dani and Amy are great hosts.
