I had the privilege of staying at the home of the Lozanos with my daughter during the weekend of 15-18 MAY 15. It was everything it was advertised to be and more. You could not ask to find a sweeter, more understanding, helpful family anywhere. Their home is immaculate and very well maintained. Due to our abbreviated schedule, we were trying to cram in as much time in The City as possible, such that we were not around the house all that often. Nevertheless, they always made us feel welcome whenever we came back to the house, and they gave us plenty of space to do whatever we needed at any time.

The guest bed was very comfortable and the rest of the guest room was certainly well-kept and maintained, including the DirectTV that is age-appropriate restricted. The shower/bathroom were perfectly adequate for our needs and toiletries are offered when needed, although there are many wonderful bodegas in easy, safe walking distance.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Maspeth, Queens, area and found it manageable, easily-navigated, and very friendly. There is a great diner called The Maspeth Diner a very short distance away, and there are bakeries/cafes nearby that we never got around to enjoying.

I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the bus schedules and routes, as that will give you all the mobility you need, including ready access to subway stops. Of course, when in doubt, a cab ride is reasonably affordable from virtually all points.

This was our first stay through Airbnb and we certainly set the bar high for all future stays. I would go back there in a New York Minute anytime. Thanks so much, Lozanos!
