My boyfriend and I had a great time staying with Tim! It's located in a quiet area of Astoria, less than five minutes from the subway into Manhattan (which is a short 15-20 minute journey to midtown). We were there for the US open and he had lots of useful info and tips for getting there and around, plus his TV always had a game showing, which was awesome. He was always up for a chat but gave us the privacy to do our own thing when needed.
The bathroom was nice and clean and the room was as the photos described, with lots of maps, magazines and guides on New York from previous guests. The floor (and especially under the bed) could do with a good clean, but as we were out most of the day, we didn't notice until the end of our trip.
Thanks for a great time, Tim!
