Great stay! I stayed here for just over a month and was very comfortable. As I enjoyed my stay I thought I'd flesh out the details a bit for you, the next guest. To clarify the description a bit this is a private entrance large bedroom with a large bathroom. There was a refrigerator, a microwave, a full set of dishware, glasses, cutlery and tools to clean them with. The bedroom is sunny, clean, quiet and recently refurbished with new floors and new furniture from ikea. The bed is a comfy queen, and there is a closet with plenty of room as well as two drawered side tables.

Internet via wifi was provided and is fast and stable, and has a strong signal in this unit.

The unit is in a converted home, where the upstairs has been converted into rental units and the downstairs is the hosts residence. So the on street entrance leads to an entry hall that provides access to all the units, each of which is doored off similar to an apartment building. It is entirely private and you will likely not run into anyone as you come and go.

The host, Martha (Rafael is her son), is a very nice lady and was very friendly and helpful during my stay. She is knowledgable about the area and was immediately available on the few occasions over the month where I had a question. She provided fresh linens and towels throughout my stay which was very kind of her.

The area is quiet and residential, about a 7 minute walk from the Grand Ave/Newtown subway station, which is on the MR lines. You are two stops away from Jackson Heights which provides access to the EMFR lines, and both JFK and LaGuardia airports are a straight shot from there. You can get to JFK for $7.50 via subway and the airtrain, if you dont want to splurge for a cab. It can take as little as 20m door to door to get into manhattan depending on where you are going, as the E train is express and fast.

There is a large shopping mall just past the subway station, with many shops, restaurants, and some large stores including Target. There are a variety of small restaurants, corner stores, and laundromats within a few blocks. Target has a full supermarket, and there is a Stop & Shop supermarket about 10 minutes walk up the road. There is a laundromat a couple blocks away. Queens best pizza and a nice pan-hispanic restaurant are also about a block and a half away.

I enjoyed my stay and I will probably be returning again soon!
