We come to NYC every year to visit family, and I'll be looking for this listing again next fall! Beautiful new building in Queens, with a separate AC in each bedroom to boot (not even window units either)!
Apartment isn't necessarily geared towards families, but it was perfect for my wife and I, our 2yr old, and my father in law. The terrace is quite safe for kids.
Friendly and walkable eclectic neighborhood, with great bodega food and drinks nearby. It's less than a 5 minute walk from the 52nd street stop on the 7 train line. About 20 minutes to times square by train. Felt quite safe walking the neighborhood, even at night. It's right under the L, so a good amount of foot traffic.
Pamela was a super helpful and accommodating host. I'd give 6 stars if I could!
