I had booked the reservation after completing my booking for my trip to New York. I did not know much about Flushing, but once I was there it was another great experience!
There's tonnes of grocery vendors, great Asian cuisine (much like a China town but much better). If you are looking for some cheap and delicious dimsum I suggest Nan Xiang on Prince St. If you want some boba or Asian fried chicken there's a food court across that has a lot of options (Google "happy lemon flushing"). There's also a Target and Macy's all walking distance as well as retail stores like Footlocker and Mango.
When me and my friend arrived Mack was accommodating, nice and friendly. His home was spotless, clean organized and he paid a lot of attention to detail to make it as comfortable as possible. We were out and about because we had such a short trip but you are welcome to use his living area, the flat screen in the room and the fully equipped kitchen (which is perfect if you are planning on saving money by cooking). He was generous enough to even offer us his tea and oatmeal if we needed. If you need to do laundry there is a place that is also walking distance just ask him!
I should also add the room we stayed in was just as neat and tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable!! I'm a restless sleeper so when I was moving my friend didn't even notice..perfect! As I mentioned earlier you have a flat screen, drawers to store things and a closet to hang your clothes. We also came in to find some sweets from Mack! Thank you again for that, it came in handy when we were walking and felt like snacking.
This area is the perfect place to stay in New York if you are on a budget. There is a lot of exploring in the area as you are walking to the Main St. Subway. Flushing is a great neighbourhood if you want to explore the area around you.
This was my first trip to NYC and would definitely stay here again! I really enjoyed this trip and it was nice to have a comfortable bed to come home to after hours of walking.
