The best place to stay for an authentic NYC experience. If you want to live like an everyday Queens local this is the best place I have been to yet. The location is unbeatable, right off of Roosevelt which imho offers some of the best and most authentic international food anywhere in the country, all tucked into corners. You'll be immersed in a real NYC neighborhood, away from tourist areas in Manhattan but two blocks from a big subway stop from which you can get to anywhere in Manhattan or Queens and get back to easily. This is an especially ideal place for foodies, adventurers, artists, and those looking for a "live-like-a-local" experience. If you're in NYC to explore Manhattan this is also a good place to do that from on a budget as it is a quick subway ride in and you can easily catch the train back from Manhattan, and staying here you will get basically the most authentic NYC/Queens living available on Airbnb. The apartment has everything you need, is clean and cozy with a comfortable bed, smart TV, and good AC. Santiago made our check in very smooth. Highly recommended!
