Best Gem in Queens. Hands down, this place is perfectly accommodating, near to all major points in NYC, local burrows, downtown, airports, subway (8 mins) and major highways. Merlyn is a wonderful host, and very personable. She went out of her way to drive us to a local eatery the evening that we came in, and then gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood at large. The place itself is EXTREMELY clean, very comfortable beds, quiet, and truly a "home away from home." Also, it was a great touch to have such a delicious breakfast included with our stay. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
