In a word, Cem's place is great.
It is a tidy, charming, spacious older one-bedroom apartment.
Cem resides in the living room and uses room dividers to offer himself and guests a degree of privacy.
Guests get the large bedroom (only slightly smaller than some Manhattan studios!).
In addition to a bed, dresser and clothes rack, the room is appointed with a small dining table and chaise lounge. The latter is perfect for curling up with a book or a perch from which to binge-watch from your device.
The room is ideal for a lone or two travelers. The entire space is available for booking when there is availability.
Meanwhile, Cem is all that is gracious, kind and hospitable. He is also very communicative and a fount of information about the area.
The apartment is in Astoria, a Queens neighborhood boasting myriad nifty shops and restaurants.
The apartment is best reached by public transport via the BROADWAY stop on the N, W lines. Farther away, yet still close, is the STEINWAY stop on the M, R lines.
If Manhattan is your destination, you are only a few stops and a few minutes away. If farther afield in Queens, particularly toward the airport, you are well-located to reach your destination.
Chez Cem is definitely a good book.
