Zain was a great host and was super fast in replying to my message. The apartment itself is located on a sidestreet in Woodside, about a 10 minute walk from the 7 train. The street is quiet but you can still hear everyone walking / talking on the street, as well as the people upstairs because this is a basement unit (including every time someone walks across the apartment or drops something). It's fine for a quick trip if you're not planning on being in the apartment too much. I wouldn't recommend working from the apartment (slow, spotty wifi). I'd recommend the hosts replace the couch because there's a big stain on the seat cushion
