Had a great seven-day stay at Nia's in Long Island City, Queens. My room was pretty big by NYC standards and the decoration was sparse, but had everything I needed. Mattress was really comfortable and the room was clean. Bathroom and kitchen are shared by other guests. Besides me, I believe two other rooms (if not three?) share the same bathroom and kitchen so be prepared for that. My room had a view of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings which was cool. The location was great-- truly super close to Court Square / 23rd Street subway station and very quick and easy to get to Manhattan. Lots of inexpensive and good places to eat very close by. I had one A/C issue that Nia fixed right away. The apartment is right under train tracks at the front and there was construction going on out the back starting at about 7:30 am (in mid-June/2018), but neither bothered me at all. You're in one of the largest cities in the world so all that should be expected, but if you're a light sleeper, bring or buy ear plugs. One last FYI-- the stairs up to the main outside door are steep and then the stairs inside and up to your room are also quite steep so if you're bad with stairs or older or "gimpy" with bum knees, just be aware of steep stairs. All in all, I'd stay here again!
