Sida's home is renovated to high standards, with true & working AC; we've stayed in Aug, experiencing humid and challenging temperatures of F 98-102 / C 35-39. Don't be afraid of skipping the mainstream zones of NYC - this part of Queens is safe, affordable, offering very, very good public transport connections to Manhattan. Queens Museum, a true hidden gem (free admission), is just around the corner, next door to Flushing Meadows : US Open / Grand Slam and home to Jets (baseball).
