Stayed here over a long weekend in mid-winter. Passang met us at the door and showed us around the place -- a ground-floor apartment-- explained the heating, TV, and such. Cozy place, very clean, well-equipped, even a small outdoor area in the bank for warmer weather. Very quiet...no street or neighbor noise, other than the occasional sound of footsteps upstairs. Passang is a very gracious and helpful host, helped us with on-street parking, gave us recommendations or lunch, etc.
Located in the Queens Sunnyside area, the subway no. 7 train to Manhattan (or Flushing!) is only a couple blocks away, and there are a great many restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, grocery stores very close by. And this is a very diverse neighborhood: our dining over the weekend included Chinese, Filipino, Romanian, Tibetan, an Irish pub...and of course, a New York slice from the pizza place on the corner.
Highly recommended.
