This is a special place. I feel lucky to have experienced New York as though staying with a very dear, well situated friend. Long Island City is a clean, quiet, and charming neighborhood. We felt very safe walking and exploring. Don’t miss dining at Top Quality, or any place Orestes suggests. He is the best kind of host, talented and humble, gracious and genuinely kind. Very approachable, but not intrusive. Comfortable bed, amazing shower, harmoniously decorated (fantastic art and photography everywhere!!) and an easy train ride from JFK. Was perfect for the two of us; we’ll be back!
