We only stayed for a stop over (2 nights) but the room was fine for us. The room was clean and spacious and the apartment interior looked like it had been remodeled. Zach is a "hands off" host but has the most ingenious ways of getting keys (he uses a lock box). I wish more hosts would do that as it would eliminate the stress of getting there at the assigned him. The apartment is located in Flushing, enough away from Manhattan craziness but close to the subways. It is a working class, multi-cultural neighborhood but a lot like where I live in San Francisco so it was fine with me. Didn't have a lot of time to check it out though. I would have liked to if I had the time.
