Anna was very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout my 3-week stay. You stay in one of three rooms, all very clean and comfortable. There is good wifi, electronic keypad entry to the house, a shared bathroom, with a good shower and bath, and there is a microwave and kettle.

The house is well served by public transport, with Queens having a comprehensive bus network, so it is easy to get to the centre of Flushing, or to the tennis, and beyond to Manhattan.

The house is located between JFK and La Guardia, and Anna can recommend a good value taxi service so you can avoid the melée at the taxi rank.

The large Kissena park is nearby, with a pond and even its own velodrome, if you like that kind of thing.
