Overall, for the price, I am satisfied with my stay. There were some minor inconveniences, but the apartment served its purpose. I stayed here with two friends during "Christmas in NY" season. I was told by several locals that crime significantly increases during warmer months, and I'd be concerned staying in this area, especially with children and as tourists. It is advertised as Queens, but it is actually Long Island City. Thankfully, we did not have any issues. If we returned at night, we would Lyft. During the day, we took the bus, which is a short walking distance.
The apartment itself is very basic but meets needs for a short stay. Sharing one small bathroom mirror among three women was a challenge. It would be helpful if there was another in the apartment. The unit advertises as laundry accessible, but our host had to unlock the basement door when he was available, so it's not freely accessible.
