We had a great stay at Raquel's apartment in Queens. She made herself very accessible in case any questions arose, and the apartment was perfect. It was a great size for two people to stay very comfortably; our hotel in our next destination felt very cramped after staying here.
It was about a 35 minute commute via the subway to Manhattan. The subway came every 5-10 minutes so there was never a long wait.
The neighbourhood the apartment is in was very safe and friendly. It's home to a large Greek community so there are plenty of authentic Greek dining options if that is your preference.
All around, we had a great stay & would certainly book again.
