Extremely easy to communicate with! Host was very honest and upfront about all details of the listing. This house is an older house/not luxury but is clean and comfortable. I felt safe here and it is generally a quiet area.
You have roommates but with the only common area being the kitchen/shared bathroom, I never really saw anyone which was a huge plus for me. This room also has a view of the backyard and a nice view of a tree which I enjoyed a lot!
I primarily used the Jackson Hts/Roosevelt Ave station which is a transportation hub-lots of train options with direct routes in to Manhattan (7 & E) and Brooklyn (F). Also this is the bus station that will take you to LaGuardia. If you need to take the LIRR the Woodside station is only a mile away.
This is a good place to stay if you’re new in town getting on your feet or here short term for a job/internship/etc.
