I got Room A which is on the ground floor, street-facing.
Commute: Is the great thing about this room. A 5-minute walk from Roosevelt Avenue station, so you can get an express train which reaches midtown Manhattan very quickly. Compared to other AirBnbs, the room is a great deal given the commute.
Located near Little India. Lots of South Asian groceries and restaurants. And it's very multicultural, there are also Chinese, Latin American and other restaurants nearby. Blink Fitness and Target are a short walk away. There are many dollar stores, grocery stores, every kind of store nearby. Roosevelt Avenue is very lively, and yet the street this house is on is pretty residential and quiet. And since there are so many trains, you can get to other parts of Queens pretty quickly.
Cleanliness: It was 99% clean. I once saw a cockroach in the kitchen, but other than that, no bugs.
Noise:
Overall not very loud, but since it's in front of the street you can hear passerby's talking, vehicles, train and occasional airplanes (LaGuardia airport is nearby). No street music.
But the white noise from the fan and the AC drowns out most of the noise. I would recommend noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds too. I was always able to have a pleasant sleep.
There is a curtain for privacy.
The way this house is structured, this room does not share a ceiling with the above floor so you don't hear anybody above you. This can be a huge plus!
Internet is pretty decent.
Size: room is small. It is ok for a temporary stay, especially if you spend most of your time outside. I got used to it but it's definitely cramped if you're used to larger spaces.
There are two other rooms inside the apartment but you do not share a wall with either of them.
Everyone stayed in their rooms, so you barely heard or saw them.
Kitchen: pretty good for cooking basic meals. It has basic pans and pots, cups, glasses, plates, cutlery, microwave, oven, fridge.
There's a lot of basic items that you need to get on your own. You're allocated areas in the bathroom, kitchen, and fridge to keep your stuff.
A lot depends on who your roommates are. I saw things left in common areas, but overall my roommates were good.
I didn't see a fire alarm or CO alarm.
The host is a little slow to respond.
Safety:
On my last night, a pedestrian was robbed at around 3 AM in front of the house. Since my room was street-facing, it was a bit disturbing. I could hear the police. However, the neighborhood is pretty safe in the day. In fact, I once had to leave at around 3 AM myself. Nothing ever happened to me.
Also, it can be a bit unnerving with strangers entering and leaving the house at all times. There's two other rooms on your floor, and several other people in the basement who seem to be using the same entrance. I recommend a portable door lock if you're concerned. The room's actual lock can be opened from the outside with a butterknife.
Overall: it has the general inconveniences of being in a shared apartment with strangers. However, it is good enough. Now after moving to my own apartment which I don't share, can't really say I miss it.
PS: I thought having roommates would mean you'd socialize with them. But all of us were so busy with our lives that besides the occasional hi, we never talked or got to know each other. So I wouldn't expect much socialization here, but that also depends on how friendly you want to be :)
