My parents were visiting New York City and wanted to be close to me in the Jackson Heights neighborhood. However, my one bedroom apartment doesn’t have enough space to host them. I got lucky and found this great apartment nearby, and now I am happy that I found a go-to place when family visit the city in the future.
First of all, the private apartment is attached to a beautiful house in a very quiet, historic part of Jackson Heights. Although it is attached, it feels private as well. The unit itself is clean, stylishly furnished and well appointed. It has everything you could need to feel comfortable, including air conditioning in the room (with two beds), a good sized living room and modern sofa, and a roomy kitchen, with coffee machine. Also, it has WiFi, a nice sized TV with cable access and the hosts have thought of everything you could want to know about the neighborhood, such as restaurants and grocery stores (it is a huge foodie neighborhood of NYC). The hosts even have a guide of things to do in the city. Midtown Manhattan is a 15-20 min subway ride away, by the way.
George Jr. and George Sr. could not have been nicer hosts, who were kind and patient with my parents upon check-in (as I escorted them) and afterwards. My folks have never used AirBnB, and when they contacted the hosts to ask how the TV worked (despite being shown at check-in), they happy came over and gave them another demo.
I give this apartment the highest marks and will gladly use it again when my family or friends visit New York. So happy to have found it and the Georges, as well!
