Great place to stay in Queens! The space is cozy and clean. It was actually more spacious than I expected for New York. It is on the 3rd floor and there aren't elevators, so be prepared for that!! It will make you rethink your luggage choices. Being on the 3rd floor means you won't hear walking overhead, so there's that. I really liked this space. There are two other units below and the doors all exit onto the stairs. Sometimes I heard the neighbors, but that is to be expected. It's an apartment in a city, not a library. Even still, everyone was pretty quiet.
It is near the metro to get into other parts of NYC also. It is roughly a 5-7 minute walk to the platform. I've stayed in Brooklyn on past trips, so I wasn't sure what to expect of Queens. The street that this place is on is quiet is basically a little neighborhood but when you turn the corner you end up in the chaos of the area with lots of shops and stores and food carts and just lots of crowds and activity. Lots to see, do, and eat. There is also a train that passes overhead on a bridge, which could annoy people who have sensory sensitivities. That said, I felt safe around here and the noise was not an issue at night when I was sleeping or early in the morning.
I would recommend this stay if you are traveling alone (like I was) or with just one other adult or a child. Three people in this space would be pushing it!
Hector was a perfectly fine host. I never met him I'm person, but he was always responsive when I had a question or issue. The guide books weren't available because they are being reprinted, so he was extra helpful when I asked him questions that were probably super obvious.
That's all I got for y'all. Happy travels.
