Umutcan and his friends are great hosts. Great place, great value for money, walking distance (6 and 4 minutes) to two subway stations (7), half an hour max to Grand Central Station on Manhattan, bus infront of the building. Biiiig room, big private bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, balcony with a great view of Queens and Manhattan, shared full equipped kitchen, spatious elevator in a building, Starbucks and many restaurants in the vicinity, turkish, filipino, korean ... shops ... although can be hot in the Summer (I was there when heat wave striked NY), air conditioner does its job well - if you look for a quietness, the only sound at night would be the hum of the city and a nearby subway. Didn't bother. Comfy bed. Would come back.
