This apartment is quite nice inside. Very clean, spacious, well-appointed. And Geralde, the host, was super-responsive.
The stairs to the basement apartment are very tight. Not a problem for me but if you have a lot of big luggage you’ll need to work at it. Again, once in, the place is very good and as advertised.
In picking this apartment, I had in mind a place that might be within walking distance of food/groceries and the like. That really isn’t the case. It’s 100% a neighborhood street, entirely residential, though there’s a corner market/deli 150-200 yards away. And that’s about it.
I have never been in Jamaica/Queens, so it was a bit of a rougher neighborhood than I expected, but it seemed safe and, yet again, I enjoyed the apartment once inside.
