Our stay in Queens village went very smoothly even with the restrictions caused by the COVID pandemic. Our needs likely were different compared with most travelers to New York, in that we did not come for tourism, or a fun outing, but rather to provide care and comfort for a sick relative. We needed an apartment with easy access, and a working kitchen. We found this at the Queens village apartment.
Our hosts were very responsive and gracious. When we had questions or needs, we heard back from Sophia very quickly, and she checked in with us regularly to ensure we had what we needed.
The neighborhood was very comfortable, with easy access both to public transportation and to the expressways in Queens. We were right at the border of Queens and Nassau about 20-30 min from Manhattan and we could get to the north shore of Long Island in about 30 min by car. We were also right across the Cross Island parkway from Belmont Park/racetrack, and about 25-30 min from both LaGuardia and Kennedy airports by car. We could walk easily to Springfield Blvd, Hempstead ave, Jamaica ave, and Linden Blvd. There were grocery stores, restaurants, produce markets, and even a fresh fish store within walking distance of the apartment.
We would definitely stay here again, and I would recommend this listing from Sophia for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in NYC away from the ruckus of Manhattan, and with easy access to eastern Long Island....
