Ideal location: safe, easy commute to the city, and ample unrestricted parking.
Olenka was very nice & always in touch when I needed her, but I also had great privacy, quiet, and a great internet connection.
The portable a/c unit was surprisingly more effective than central units but unnecessary in the cool basement.
Very clean with a huge, full-size fridge (rare in NY!).
I already plan to return to Olenka's home for another stay and I'm considering this area of Queens for a long-term residence.
