I had a wonderful stay with Linda and her family for 3.5 weeks. They were very communicative and responsive, and check in was a breeze. Linda was really a delight and super easy to get along with! My room was next to the front door, which was convenient, and the room gets plenty of light, although faces the road, which didn’t bother me bc I’m a deep sleeper. The bathroom was on the second floor. The location is safe and about a 16min walk to the metro or train station. Takes around 45min-1h hr to Manhattan by metro or LIRR train. It’s an older house, but comfortable. I used the kitchen only to make tea and oatmeal. The food in the area is unreal, such amazing Asian food! The rest of Queens along the 7 metro line has so much diversity and great food too. This is a fantastic budget option with experienced hosts and I would stay here again!
