My friend an I had been to New York many times before, but we had never stayed anywhere in Queens. Staying at Nick's place took out all the uncertainty of being in a new neighborhood. Nick was so friendly, and generous with his tips about the neighborhood.
One small word of caution -- the room is a little small for two people, especially when the air mattress is up and ready. But it's New York, and it's still bigger than a typical Manhattan hotel room. Since we were only staying in New York for a few days, we were fine with the arrangement.
If you're OK with a tight room (or there's only one person in your group, or you're sharing the bed) this place has everything you need.
