Carolyn and her husband Shaine were great hosts. We got in around midnight, and they actually stayed up to show us around the house. The room and bathroom were spotless and fully stocked. There was also a mini breakfast area, which was super convenient.
The house is in a quiet neighbourhood in Queens. We drove in and parking was not a problem at all.
I'd recommend Carolyn's place to anybody looking for a good, inexpensive place to stay in New York City.
