My best AirBnb experience yet. Christina was a super-likeable host, smart, efficient and organized. Excellent, near-instant communication was a huge plus. She has a beautifully maintained and appointed big old house. WiFi, towels, large bathroom. Very safe peaceful neighborhood. Bus stop five minutes away. Easy to from LGA (LaGuardia) Long Island railroad to Manhattan is about a 20 minute walk or accessible by bus. Some charming Asian neighborhoods nearby, both urban and suburban, with wonderful markets and restaurants. I might go out of my way to stay there next time in NYC : )
Oh, she provides a list of 20+ restaurants of various ethnicities, within a half-mile, but if you're using public transportation, you might want to get lunch/dinner in the city, where the choices are highly concentrated. Christina's immediate area is more of a suburban bedroom community, not city-like.
