This was only our second experience staying in an airbnb room and it was perfect for my 12 year-old daughter and me. Sandra and her family were really friendly and welcoming. We felt very comfortable and were delighted to be able to learn more about New York, Queens, schools, the community... they took time to talk to us and answer our many questions! The area felt really safe and has lots of diners and delis. Travelling back at night from Broadway/Manhattan was no problem using subways and the bus although be aware that it can take up to an hour and a half especially if you have to wait for the bus. However, you get to see a really interesting multicultural neighbourhood while you wait! Staying with Sandra was almost like staying with family. I would definitely stay with her again - hopefully when we return to New York one day!
