I visited the city to see a friend in Queens and to do some sightseeing. I was a little worried about logistics, not being a regular subway user, but if you are a tourist, this house is near exactly the subway line you want to be on, and the directions you're given to get from the station to the house are very clear. It was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood had some interesting restaurants and stuff too - different types of ethnic food and so on. The nearby subways are above ground, so if you are from the countryside, it seems loud, but I figure the existence of noise in New York City is an unsurprising fact. I enjoyed my stay here.
