This was a great place to stay—a nice residential apartment building within walking distance to the subway, food, fun, and everything else mentioned in the listing.
However, we disagree that there is plenty of street parking, and we would have appreciated a warning about parking rules. Tuesday night, we hunted for thirty minutes, only to get a $45 ticket Wednesday morning for having violated alternate-side parking. Wednesday night, we spent two whole hours driving in circles until we finally gave up, found a spot 1.5 miles away, and hailed an Uber to the Airbnb.
At the time we chose this Airbnb, it mistakenly listed “parking on premises” as an amenity; the hosts have since removed that from the listing at our request. We appreciate that. Unfortunately, our decision to stay here hinged on that amenity, because while we knew how hard it can be to find parking in Jackson Heights, we needed to rent a car for multi-state travel while pregnant and toting lots of holiday luggage.
Other than the parking issues, the Airbnb was exactly what we needed. Our hosts were so nice, and the apartment was clean and comfortable. The building was surprisingly quiet after 9 PM. We were given such a warm welcome and have no doubts that now, with a fully accurate listing, any guest will get exactly what is promised, with a smile and excellent communication throughout. Queens is a fantastic (and underrated) borough, and this will be a convenient launch pad for your adventures, so long as you’re relying on public transit and your feet!
