I stayed at Nancy's place for 3 weeks in June / July 2013, whilst I looked for a permanent place. The space is brilliant (pretty much twice the size of the hotel I got out up in by my employers for a night in Manhattan!) and comfortable. The neighbourhood itself is lovely (and massively changed the image of Queens that I had from what I had been told!)- its around a 10-15 min walk to the subway, and the same to Astoria Park which had amazing views across to Manhattan.

Nancy was an amazing host- she had picked up a couple of things on my first night to eat, as I got in quite late, and was always on hand to sort things out where needed. In short, I had all the perks of having my own studio apartment for three weeks (my own space,go and come as I wished, etc) plus the added comfort of a super helpful host.
