We stayed at Mark's place for a week in October. Really enjoyed our stay in Queens, the neighbourhood was nice and felt safe. It took us about 40-50 minutes to get to Manhattan by public transport.
Mark was a great host, although we did not meet Mark in person. We had all the privacy we could wish for. The communication has been very fast and clear. The place has everything you need. It was clean and tidy, the bed was nice, and the wifi worked without any issues.
I would definitely recommend this cozy studio!
