Kat's place is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood in Queens. It's only 3-min away from the subway station of N and Q line, and therefore it's very convenient to get to either Manhattan or Brooklyn. It's very close to several grocery stores (even one Japanese market where I got many delicious Japanese snacks) and there are lots of brilliant restaurants nearby with reasonable prices (much better than those in Manhattan lol).
The apartment is on the ground floor which therefore is connected to the backyard. It is very clean and well-equipped with all the necessities, just as shown on the Airbnb profile. It is always quite cool inside without AC, even when outside was more than 80. And I always liked to have the door to the backyard open to let the fresh air in.
Kat was out of town so her mom greeted me. She was a very lovely and friendly Greek Mama. When I first arrived, she even asked me if she could help get juice or milk for me cuz I kinda looked tired. Kat was a great host too. Even though she was not there, she was very communicative through messages and made sure I had everything I needed. I had a really great time at Kat's place and would definitely recommend anyone visiting NYC to stay there, rather than the crowded and expensive Manhattan.
