The Sunnysid, Queens apartment hosted by Jose is a COLIVING space situated in a quiet, friendly and safe working class / lower middle class neighborhood of mostly families. Various middling shops and stores abound in walking distance.
Jose is the off-site host and offers an excellent value for the price.
What makes it so is its size (3 bedrooms) and proximity to 42nd Street Manhattan. It is about a 10-minute walk to the No. 7 line, which has you at Grand Central Station in less than 20 minutes.
Do note that the apartment is not on the luxury spectrum. For instance, the walls are thin. You can here people walking above, but it is not noisy and you adjust to it quickly, so don't be put off by this. The apartment IS quite comfortable and has all of the basic amenities.
Jose and his team are professional, friendly and compassionate and will respond to questions and so forth quickly. In fact, one of his team members checks in daily to make sure all is well.
In closing, I had an extremely pleasant two-week stay and would highly recommend Jose's Sunnyside, Queens place.
Especially for those who are economizing.
