This was my first Airbnb stay, and it exceeded my expectations. Staying at Lolita's place was like staying at a real BNB - you get a cute room, and access to a large kitchen as well as a bathroom that is well-stocked with shampoo, etc. The common areas are cleaned often. The electronic access codes are very convenient (no need to carry a card or keys)!

The surrounding neighborhood is very convenient - there are multiple cheap laundromat nearby for washing your laundry and a good selection of affordable restaurants. The N/Q station, which will take you to Manhattan, is less than a 5-minute walk away. Reliable wifi.

The only thing that could reduce the quality of your experience are the other guests. There are a few other rooms on your floor that are Airbnbs - there were a few days that loud guests woke me up late at night/early in the morning by using the common areas. None of them were incredibly obnoxious, but it's something to keep in mind, especially if you're traveling during a busy tourist season.
