Jared's place is located in an amazing neighborhood. It's quiet, culturally diverse, people are super friendly and greet you in the street and it's conveniently located - close to 2 metro lines which make it easy to get to manhattan and flushing-chinatown. There are all kinds of shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and grocery stores, cheap ones, fancy ones, organic ones and plain regular ones, i had the best coffee ever and great empanadas at the small colombian bakery (el pilon) next to the metro station on queens boulevard, i would also recommend the alpha donut shop and the italian barber (G&G Barber Shop).
Jared was an outstanding host, very friendly and he was amazingly responsive and went out of his way to show us around and help us out. (We asked him for example for an additional blanket and he brought it within a day). He picked my girlfriend up at the airport as she arrived a couple of hours before me, and she said that, as a woman, she felt very comfortable with him and would recommend Jared and his apartment to single female travelers.
The room is not the biggest but it was still comfortable for two people. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything we needed, we prepared a bunch of meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bathroom is also perfectly alright.
