Linda's home is very pleasant and she is a thoughtful host. The upstairs guest room is comfortable and right near the bathroom, which was convenient for me because I use it during the night. She was not home when I arrived, but I had been told how to get inside. When I got to the room, I was greeted by a guest basket with some helpful items and instructions. I later met Linda and we had some pleasant conversations, though I hope I did not take her away from her infant daughter for too long; she understandably spends less time talking with guests than she did before the baby came. The part of Flushing where she lives is quite busy, with narrow streets. I had to circle around some to find a parking spot that would be good for my 2 night stay, but it was not very difficult to find one in late afternoon and that is typical in many NYC neighborhoods. I did not find it overly noisy at night, though I slept with the windows open. (The second floor guest room is in the back of the house.) When I was there, jets were flying low overhead during the day, so it's not a good place to sleep in the daytime.
