This is my preferred Airbnb spot in all of New York City, which happens to be in the diverse, fun, bustling foodie capital of Jackson Heights, Queens. It is just a 25-30 min subway or Uber ride to midtown Manhattan.
I live in the city and have stayed here during housing renovations and in between apartment moves, and I have had my tourist family members stay here as well. It has been five stars for all of us every time. It is a beautiful space, well furnished and impeccably decorated with a midcentury modern sensibility, clean, and thoughtfully organized. The hosts are lovely, helpful, kind and accommodating. Whether you are single or with kids, book the space immediately if it is open (as it is often reserved over long weekends), and you are in for a treat. I have booked other places in the neighborhood, and with all due respect—nothing compares.
