Yajaira and Luis' place in Forest Hills is a hidden hideaway. Clean, simple yet solid, and very cozy. Two air conditioners, one in each bedroom, which is nice for warmer temperatures, and I imagine that the home stays nice and warm in winter with baseboard heat, and windows concentrated to the bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped and the place can support up to perhaps a family of five (2-3 adults+children), but it may feel cramped with more than a couple people since the space is quite small and there is not a ton of storage space. The neighborhood is quiet, easygoing, and safe, with a number of resources nearby. If you are sensitive to noise, however, the passing LIRR can rumble the apartment and if in the living area, conversations in the neighboring unit can be overheard. The bedrooms are not adjoining that unit, though, and the neighbors were respectful of hours, so it really wasn't a problem for me. Yajaira and Luis are great communicators and had a bunch of great tips for enjoying New York, especially if on a budget. Definitely skip the battery park tourist traps and try the NYC Ferry or Staten Island ferry!
