Verena's 2BR apartment in Richmond Hill, Queens, NY, was perfect for my spouse, son, and me. We were moving our son into his college dorm room and the apartment was really convenient. Note to future travelers: It's on the 2nd floor with a fairly steep staircase so be sure you are not physically challenged if you want to stay there. We had to rent a car this trip because we had tons of luggage, but were able to park on the street fairly easily. It's an older neighborhood but it felt quite safe. For the price in the NY area, it's definitely a gem.
