Great location (next to the LIRR, which takes you to Manhattan proper in ~30 mins). One of the safest areas in the Queens county. Lots of restaurants and retail outlets for day-to-day shopping available at a 2-mins walk. Excellent host, very approachable and accessible. Apartment is in a decent condition, but it does not look exactly like the pictures, he has updated a couple of things in the apartments (sofa and lights). Has everything you need for a long stay (30-90 days), and Richard always asked if we needed anything more, because he’d be able to arrange.
Small wish list:
- Add a couple of more comfortable chairs (bum hurts after sitting for too long in those bar chairs); and
- Perhaps add a small workstation somewhere especially now that more people are working from home
Overall rating: 8/10 (Very good for 2-3 people for long stays in New York)
