The room was as it was described. i failed to check that it has no a/c so it's my bad..good thing I was away most of daytime and it was cooler at some nights and early mornings..though early summer at NYC is unpredictable. The bed was comfy but gets really warm on those humid nights. I contended myself with watchin NBC news (sinve there's no CNN), and listened to Music so. One can enjoy whatever the cabled TV can offer (for avid Netflix patron, you may access your account) but I guess like any guests, I was there for the NYC experience. The water is potable which was a plus. The shower needs to be replaced with a proper handle though the wrench did manage to do the job. Turn in all the way to get hot/warm shower.
The place was really far from Manhattan area. Fellert Blvd stn is the end stn of the nearest train A. It is maybe a 5 minutes walk (you get off at 118th street, Liberty Ave ..so that's 7 streets and 1 block to get to 125th st & 107th ave Queens). Not a good idea to drag a heavy luggage if you are just checkin in so either you take a cab from whereever you disembark or take the subway train and try to find a taxi when you have successfully dragged your luggage down the train stn (the lift seemed exclusive for PWDs). The community is predominantly Indian Asian descent. Safe to walk around but if you are not used to hearing loud music being played on passing cars even at wee hour at night, (and the distinct odor) then that's somethin you can add to your Queens NY experience.
The host was out of the country so my issues was not addressed right away. I would have appreciated it more if I was advised about how I can get to the place more relaxed (i got lost, and was so exhausted when i finally found it). It was until after I'd checked in when I learned that the caretaker was livin in the other room. Nick seemed nice but seemed not so keen on accomodating guests. I felt that the place was not prepared to receive me (cleanliness wise) despite I booked for 10 days). Guest should not be asked for the basics in an AirBnB like plastic trash, toilet paper, etc.
Overall, it was OK.
i dont think I can recommend it to others.
Another plus: really near JFK, maybe 5 minutes Uber ride.
