A lovely place just as described! The place has a very livable neighborhood, with plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars. There are also laundries, groceries and parks nearby. I feel very safe when walking around, even at night. It’s only walking distance to subway and buses, very convenient connection to all hotspots of NYC. The room is clean and cozy, with all necessities included. It faces Ditmars boulevard but is quiet enough at late night, however earplugs are recommended for light sleepers. Common area such as kitchen and restroom is shared but are all kept tidy. Halil is a great host, very friendly and welcome, always has a quick respond to all my demands. I had a fantastic stay here. Highly recommended!
