The house is located on the Queens/Brooklyn border. We are 20 minutes from JFK Airport by subway and Airtrain and 20 minutes away from La Guardia Airport by car.
The house is a 5 minute walk to the Manhattan bound J and Z trains. Both trains take you directly to downtown Manhattan, Financial Center, World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty and Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge,The Heliport, City Hall, and SoHo shopping. You can also transfer from the J or Z trains to the E, L, A, M, F, C, 2, 3, 4 , 5 and 6 trains to get to other areas of the city like Times Square, the Theater District/Broadway, Rockefeller Center, Madison Square Garden, Empire State building, Fifth Avenue, St Patrick's Cathedral, Central Park, Yankee Stadium, Coney Island beach, museums and art galleries. All the tourist attractions in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan,Bronx, Staten Island and parts of New Jersey are accessible from my house by train. You can be at many destinations in less than an hour. In addition to all this the house is located right next to the second largest park in the city, Forest Park. The park has free tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. This area of Queens is very safe!

Yolanda is a very kind person and her daughter is also a delightful young lady. Her husband helped us with our baggage. They are very helpful and the room is big and clean. The neighborhood is safe and there are many shops and restaurants nearby. But to us travellers, the location seemed a little bit far from Manhattan. It is close to JFK, so if your flight is early, it's convenient. Overall, our experience there was great and I recommend Yolanda!

Yolanda is a remarkably kind and hospitable person. She's so kind, warm and helpful. She helped me with everything I needed. I was very comfortable in her house. The room and the bathroom are quite clean. Near the house there is a metro station. It's easy to get to Manhattan.Yolanda is so welcoming and helpfull her instructions for using the subway and buses easy-great to leave the bustle of manhatten to go 'home' For making my first trip to New York so perfect. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy New York. Many thanks!

Très bon accueil et maison calme et confortable. Un peu loin du centre de Manhattan pour rentrer le soir après une journée fatigante (1 heure de métro). Je recommande quand même.
