Linda was a perfect hostess. Considering that she has a new baby, she was always available to help me when I needed it. The room and the house were exactly as expected except that you should know that the staircase is slightly narrow and a large suitcase might be difficult to manage alone. Flushing was interesting but not a tourist mecca. I stayed there in order to get some exercise on the way to the US Open Tennis Center. That was a walk of about 1/2 hour with a coffee stop thrown in.
