Maria is a nice woman. She made herself totally available. Her place is clean and spacious. I'd agree with others that you should bring an eye mask if you want to sleep late...her curtains are thin.

As for the neighbourhood, it's no Williamsburg but if you walk a bit you'll find some cute spots to dine. I'd recommend Blessings on Flushing for coffee or brunch.

I'd definitely go back to Maria's place.
