It is a very good place, great value for money. Close proximity to the train station and from there you can go anywhere in NY (as I figured out). There is a full basket of brochures etc. you can use for siteseeing. The hosts pretty much think of everything and the description of the place is very precise. If you are going in peak summer, the nights can be a bit hot (as I experienced) due to the lack of air conditioning, all other seasons should be fine. My cousin, who stays in NY clearly said that compared to the hotel options in Queens, this is the best option.
