I was one day in the city and needed a quick place. Kerri responded right away and gave me her phone number for better communication. She explained about the taxi to get to her house and the guy still ripped me off, leaving me about a mile from her actual house. People in the neighborhood could not have been any more kind, directing me to the address as the street and house numbers in Queens can be confusing. The house was spotlessly clean, the bed is perfectly comfortable and the shower looks brand new and if piping hot. I would highly recommend walking to either Rockaway Blvd or Guy Brewer for a deli sandwich. I am a bus rider rather than Uber as I like the local experience when I travel. I would not take a taxi again in NYC after being ripped off. The bus is an easy connection to and from the airport and the drivers are very helpful, telling you exactly where to get off. Q3 bus, ask for transfer and then a short hop on Q111 will put you a few blocks walk to the house for $2.75, pay with change only, no bills. Going into Manhattan took me about an hour with bus and riding the J train. This was a great experience as well as I met people on the train who were locals and told me some nice hints about the city.
