This is a spot in a fascinating neighborhood. Not a bad walk to the 7 line in Jackson Heights. It seemed like every block had a different ethicity: Bangladeshi, Indian, Mexican, Thai, and other groups that I could not identify. If there are too many hipsters in Brooklyn for you, come here to Jackson Heights, where cab drivers actually live. Amazing, inexpensive ethnic food here as well. We stayed here while visiting Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the first two days of the US Open in Flushing Meadow. Took Uber to the other boroughs and the 7 train to the Open. If you are looking for a place to crash in a great neighborhood, this is it. Neighbors were up cooking (smelled great!) and socializing until after midnight. May have been a problem if we were sleeping on the futon in the main room, but wasn't bad while sleeping with the door shut in the bedroom. This is a basement apartment, to which you have to walk down a back alley to get. My wife and I had no problems walking down the alley (night or day) to get to the apartment. Overall, a decent place, in a fantastic neighborhood that is a very different NYC experience than staying in Manhattan.
