Great hosts, and great great room, especially for the price! It's very spacious and comfortable. The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. Plus, the location is terrific; I love the cultural diversity in the Elmhurst area. It's not as "hip" as, say, Williamsburg, but that's what makes it special in my opinion - it's truly authentic, not manufactured "authentic". Also, it's very close to subway stations that will take you to Manhattan in about 30 minutes. Overall, it's one of the greatest spots to stay when visiting NYC!
