We live in Brooklyn, but chose to stay at Luis's apartment because our son just started a program at a school very close by. The place was comfortable and spacious with good heating during a spell of cold days. My son especially enjoyed the game room (the foosball table was a hit!). Luis's place is in a VERY quiet, residential area, and when we arrived in early January a lot of Christmas lights and decorations were still on many of the houses, adding to the quaintness. The famous German restaurant Zum Stammtisch is less than a ten minute walk and is well worth a visit. Luis dealt quickly with a request we had and let us check out 3 hours late in order for us to pick up our son from school. He even offered to continue our stay at a discounted rate. We were impressed and recommend it for anyone planning to visit this area of Queens.
