So... Rafael's place is REALLY cheap but don't let that fool you or put you off. Yes its a single bed in a small room but it's laid out nicely so you have loads of room and a closet. The kitchen/lounge is shared but Rafael and the other occupants made me feel relaxed and right at home. The neighbourhood is great and there are shops where you can buy pretty much all you're going to need, as well as a bunch of restaurants, only 2 mins walk away and it's so close to Queen's Boulevard that you can walkthere in 5. The little laundry room has a massive launderette style washing machine and dryer that complete a cycle in just over an hour which for me was an absolute godsend and saved waiting for a launderette service and was super convenient as a traveller. The best thing about this place though is Rafael himself. Got to be in the running for the best host on AirBnB! After getting home from work at 9.30pm he still made the effort and took me out to show me the neighbourhood and all the best places to shop etc.and things to do. In the morning I had a bunch of things I needed to sort out and he was straight on his phone locating everything I needed close to the house before going to work. Super host who responded very quickly and was extremely accommodating and a nice clean room in a great location that really should have cost much more money to rent. I will be staying here again for sure whenever I am in New York.
