With a dozen or so Airbnbs under our belts, David’s place in Queens is at the top. This was not our first trip to New York City, but it was the first time staying in an outer borough. We may never go back to staying in Manhattan! It was great to explore a diverse and vibrant residential/business community rather than being awash in the chaotic glitz of Times Square and environs!
Don’t get me wrong, we went into “the city” every day. A short subway ride and all Manhattan had to offer was ours. Before or after we had our choice of several wonderful restaurants—at a bit nicer price than across the river. And if you are in a position to drive to NYC, there is free (!) street parking available. We parked the car and left it right across the street (okay we got super lucky with that one!)
The place itself was downright spacious! All details were taken care of. In our party of two couples, we had our own space and plenty of room to hang together. We were too busy to enjoy the huge TV, puzzles, games and books; but they are available!
