This place is in a great neighborhood in queens and we felt very safe walking all over the place. It's close to many restaurants and eateries so just take your pick. The apartment itself was actually more spacious than most places we've stayed at while visiting NYC and very clean. The only thing I would point out was that the bed was a bit firm but overall wasn't a problem. Diana was an amazing host and was easily reachable at any hour, night or day ready to answer any questions we had.
