Passang's place was amazing. My sister and I stayed here and it was perfect for two people. Since it wasn't IN the city, I was a little nervous about commuting in and out each day. But the subway was just a few blocks up the road, and we felt totally safe walking through the neighbourhood at any time of day. It was about a 30-40 minute commute into Times Square(with walking to the station) but it seemed to go by very quickly. If you're not feeling like going into the city, we did explore Sunnyside a little and it was quite lovely. The apartment was clean and cozy, and we always had hot water for the shower. You could hear the folks upstairs a bit but it was never late at night or early in the am. Since our flight didn't leave till the evening, Passang allowed us to leave our backpacks at the place during the day while we explored. Would definitely come back here!
