Flushing is one of the safer neighborhoods. It is very quiet and we felt safe walking back to the Air BNB at 12 or 1 in the morning. That being said, we didn't realize just how far Flushing really is from Manhattan. The Air BNB is in a really convenient location in terms of catching the bus and then the metro, however, it took us at least an hour to commute each way. You can also take the LIRR, which can get you into Manhattan in 30 minutes, but it's 4x the price.
The unit is very clean and comfortable. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer available. Mike is a very good host. He has really good recommendations for food nearby. There is no kitchen, but he provided bottled waters in the fridge, an electric kettle, paper plates, and utensils. The bathroom also had additional toiletries like cotton balls, q-tips, bandages, and feminine hygiene products.
Overall, it was a cozy, quiet home that was nice to go back to after a long day. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in Flushing/Queens.
