For us, it was nice to stay in a residential neighborhood (plus we had family nearby) that was not so touristy as we’ve done lots of Manhattan hotels in past years. That also translates to cheaper prices for restaurants and groceries if you care to purchase snacks etc. We loved eating at the many restaurants that the locals eat in (so many cuisines within a couple blocks).
We were a little nervous about no TV to wind down at end is the day at this place but most people have tablets and phones that they can stream on. There is reliable & free Wi-if here. We brought our own books but also took advantage of reading/ skimming as there are several shelves of books and magazines (just do not take them home of course). Having a refrigerator for leftovers and being able to make coffee and tea in the morning was nice. The hosts are very attentive. When we had a questions, they answered promptly in the Airbnb app. Lastly there is a subway station a couple blocks away to get to Manhattan or other places. Thank you Laura and Sami for allowing us to stay at your place in Queens.
