My friend and I had a wonderful weekend stay at Mike's place. I was initially worried about the cleanliness considering its basement location -- but the studio was incredibly clean and neat, didn't smell musty or moldy, and even had a good amount of natural light coming in from its windows. The only possibly negative factor is that the walls are fairly thin, so you can hear the upstairs neighbor walking around and/or revving engines from the street, but neither were frequent or pointedly bothersome during our stay.
The entrance to the studio is separate from that of the main house, and there are motion sensor lights that guide your path at night, which I found incredibly thoughtful and comforting. The furniture layout of the studio has been updated since its listing pictures, but everything you see is there, and more!
Mike was a very lovely and considerate host. He provided prompt and informative responses, clear and detailed check-in instructions, complimentary water in the fridge, disposable plates and utensils in the dining area, hand sanitizer and wipes on the vanity, toiletries in the bathroom, and a private parking spot on the premises (for short stays/upon request). I also loved the location of the studio in regard to all of the yummy places that we wanted to try in Queens -- halfway between Flushing and Bayside, but also close enough to walk to a few! I most definitely recommend Mike's place and would stay here again!
