Robert’s place represents outstanding value. It’s a modern, clean apartment with everything one would need for a short to medium-length stay. It is located in a safe neighbourhood with plenty of supermarkets, eateries & public transport around. It takes 45-60 minutes to get into central Manhattan, as I did the 15 minute walk to the Flushing Main St station, then took the subway. The distance isn’t an issue & means you can get a modern apartment with a nice view of the Manhattan skyline and LaGuardia airport for an excellent price.
LGA is only 10 minutes away by taxi and I was able to get to JFK in an hour by public transport very early in the morning. The location is also very handy for the tennis at Flushing Meadows.
I must say that Robert is a wonderful host who couldn’t do enough to make my first visit to NYC a most pleasant one & his communication is first-rate. He made sure I had plenty of food for my arrival, which was a blessing after nearly 24 hours of flying from Sydney via Dallas. The apartment was also whisper-quiet as well, thankfully!
I highly recommend Robert’s place to anyone seeking a good value visit to The Big Apple.
