Karen, Hector’s sister, was our contact for the booking. She was extraordinarily helpful and available in the days before our trip as we had many questions about getting to the apartment in Queens and how to get into Manhattan and so forth. The apartment itself is situated just a couple of blocks from the subway and we were able to go into Manhattan and get back to Queens easily and quickly. There are plenty of shops and eating places on the streets in the neighborhood. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The refrigerator was stocked with bottled water and tea and coffee was also provided. Karen’s father, who lives on the ground floor, was on hand to help or answer any questions we had. This was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend Hector and Karen’s apartment.
