Great place to stay!
This was my first time using Airbnb and I was pleasantly surprised to find the accommodations clean, well-kept, and close to public transportation. The house was only a 5 minute walk away from the Q train at Neck Rd, which could take you anywhere accessible by subway in NYC for $2.75. There were a lot of Asian shops nearby, including a pho shop, an AYCE sushi restaurant, and several markets offering Chinese groceries. The price of these places was also a nice break on our wallets after a day wandering in Manhattan.
The room itself was actually the top floor of Sam's house. It included a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchen and sitting area. There was a separate side entrance that led directly upstairs so we could come and go as we pleased. The stove did not work, which was a bit disappointing since we stayed so close to so many grocery markets. However, finding food was not an issue. Furthermore, Sam had left some bottles of water and beer in the fridge for us and offered us frozen wontons and pizzas. The bed itself was soft and welcoming. One problem was, since we went in the winter, the radiator was on nonstop and could sometimes prove to be overwhelming. We had to keep our door and window open to avoid the excessive heat in the room. I wish there had been a way to adjust the radiator.
Nevertheless, I was very pleased with the living conditions and standards of this location. Sam was a very polite, quiet, and friendly host. I would definitely stay here again and highly urge you to choose this place if you intend to explore NYC!
