I defenitely recommend Abdoulay's appartment for the following reasons :
1) the appartment is located one block from Queensboro Plaza Station (Line E...) and two blocks from Queensboro Station (Line N, R, M...), 3 stops from the 42 Grand Central Terminal;
2) the neighbourhood is very calm and you have a 24 hour opened store in the street's corner, gas station, laundromat, bar, Dunkin Donuts...;
3) One of the best offers in term of price that you can get in New York;
4) Abdoulaye is a great host and will do his best to make you feel comfortable;
5) The bed is very comfortable and the house was pretty clean.
