A very nice place in Queens, Astoria and within 20 minutes you are in the centre of Manhattan. It's only a 5-minute walk to the metro station. Besides the good location, the apartment also offers easy access by using a code system to enter the room and there is air-conditioning available as well. The bathroom and toilet are shared with others but that was not a problem for us. Can definitely recommend this place if you want to do a city trip/road trip and planning to stay out of (pricey) Manhattan but close to the city centre for a couple of days!
