Summary This room was perfect for my girlfriend and I while in New York for 10 days. The apartment was clean and our room had A/C, very nice for the muggy September weather. The neighborhood is quiet and nice to walk through with good food options and a 10 minute walk to the subway. Our host was great and we would definitely rent from him again in the future. Apartment The room is on the second floor of a duplex. There are two other bedrooms on the upper floor of the apartment which are rented out to other Airbnb people. Downstairs is also an Airbnb thing, we ran into a few other guests during our stay and everyone was respectful with no issues whatsoever. You get your own private room with a lock on the door - although the room’s lock can be opened from the outside with a coin or similar implement, which was probably the only concrete thing we would have liked to see different.There is no dresser but there is a decent sized closet as well as a small desk available, with enough floor space for multiple suitcases. The room has a window A/C unit that works quite well. The apartment itself is very secure with multiple doors and deadbolts. Everything was extremely clean, which we really appreciated. The furnishings are basic but they are everything a traveler needs for a home base. Honestly, who would visit New York just to stay home? Sheets, blankets, extra pillows, hangars, as well as shower and hand towels were all provided. There is a basic set of dishes, cookware and silverware to use. Shower got hot quickly with good water pressure. For the price, you definitely can’t beat it. Host Jose was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. He answered on the second ring when I called him on our move-in day with a question on the apartment. Even though the answer I needed was already in the guidebook, he was very patient with me and walked me through the entire apartment by phone. Throughout our stay he answered our questions within a very reasonable time frame. He has a nice colleague named Ernesto who came by a few times during our 10-day stay to check the apartment, restock anything and make sure everything was okay. Neighborhood We are not from New York and didn’t know anything about the myriad neighborhoods that make up the area. We quickly learned that this apartment’s location in Sunnyside, Queens was perfect for travelers on a budget. It is a safe, clean and quiet neighborhood that seems to be mostly occupied by families with kids. The main commercial street and subway station is roughly a 10 minute walk from the apartment. There are a ton of restaurants/coffee shops/cafes featuring food of all stripes, as well as a few bars with a relaxed atmosphere. Every single restaurant we tried had amazing food - we were never let down. We saw Latin American, Nepalese/Tibetan, Italian, Irish...
