Brooke's place is located in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens. It's fairly quiet for being inner city living and super close to the subway station for transportation to Manhattan and the other Burroughs. The room is perfect with a desk and a comfortable bed. The shared bathroom was never a problem for us. There is another Air BnB room as well and it was really cool getting to talk to the guest in that room as well (and if that's not your thing, easy to just roll in and out and keep to yourself). If you're looking to see what real city New York living is and be in a great location to go elsewhere... this is a perfect spot with fantastic hosts!
