Nick is one of the kindest hosts I’ve ever met. He helped me out (twice!) for last minute bookings and was super flexible and accommodating both times. The location in Astoria, Queens is great- near many stores and restaurants, and transportation. At the end of the tree-lined street, you’ll find Citi bikes and the subway entrance (M/R línea) along with several local and express bus lines. The neighborhood itself is safe and pleasantly quiet for NYC.
The room is cozy, private, and clean. There is a big closet with plenty of hangers and a dresser to store clothes and a space heater or air conditioner depending on the season. I loved that it has a separate entrance (with private lock and keys) because it felt like my own apartment. It is worthy to note the kitchen and bathroom are down the hall (maybe 10 steps), but I never once saw anyone as I left my room to go to the other door. The building is very safe and quiet. I would definitely consider a longer term rental in the future.
