The hosts are wonderful people, both kind & understanding. This is a quiet room in astoria, queens. Lots of families in the area. It was a clean place, and the kitchen was full functioning with usable dishes. The shower came with amenities, and you will be provided a towel. Be prepared to make a 10 minute walk to the nearest bus & train station to the city. The sheets and pillows felt exceptionally clean. However the towel had that dry old towel smell, I suspect from the rotations. Additionally, I must say I killed a small roach in the bathroom during my first night, but I never saw any other insects again throughout my trip. Wonderful stay for a great value
