This place/neighborhood is close to a small 'Chinatown', so there's plenty of food and shops around. It's a 5 min walk to the Queens Botanical Garden, and a 20 minute walk to the 7 - Line, which stops at Grand Central, Times Square, etc. (about 45-60 ride). The place itself is almost like a mini hostel. You'll have to share a bathroom and kitchen/dining room with other tenants. There's no elevator, so be prepared to climb a flight of stairs with your luggage. Available amenities include Wi-Fi, microwave, fridge, towels, and linens.
