Fahim is a “super host” – he really cares about making sure your experience is exceptional. He was very attentive and thoughtful regarding any questions/concerns I had (which were minimal). He is just a great guy overall. This is how an Airbnb host should be. On my last day, I spent a few hours with his wife, who was a real pleasure to get to know. And of course their daughter was absolutely adorable and fun to meet as well!

The place is excellent – its very private, a true studio apartment experience. It is furnished/decorated very well and I found it entirely adequate for my needs. The bathroom is small but that was not an issue for me. The kitchenette is very functional – has everything you need if you decide you want to cook. I opted to eat out most of my stay, as there are SO many good food options in the area! Jackson Heights has a large South Asian population, so the food in the area reflects this. However, there are many other types of ethnic/options available.

The walls/ceilings are a little thin so you may hear some noise resonating from above (pipes/plumbing), but honestly, this was very minor and did not adversely impact my experience. I am self-employed and worked from home a lot – overall, I was not disturbed or bothered by such noises.

The location is convenient to the subway, which will get you almost anywhere you’d want to go in NYC.

As you can tell, I had great experience – I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back if I am ever in the area again. Hopefully I can stay in touch with Fahim and his family as they were a pleasure to get to know.
