This is a perfect, well-appointed and lovely place to spend some time becoming acquainted with all New York has to offer. Just a couple of blocks away are colorful, multi-ethnic neighborhoods with restaurants reflecting the cuisines of Asia, the Middle East and Central and South America. The subway system is 6-7 minutes away, well-served by express trains to downtown Manhattan and other parts of Queens. The apartment itself is, spacious, very quiet, and with views from its first floor windows facing inward into a peaceful, well-shaded garden. There is no street noise at all. The amenities are first rate. I measured the internet connection at greater than 200 mbps—outstanding reception. All in all, unless you need to be closer than 20 minutes from Times Square, a couple could not do better than Chris and Rossanna’s one-bedroom apartment in Queens.
