Sheena was a very gracious host who openly shared her home with me. You are provided with a decently sized room complete with a sofa bed and desk. Blankets, towels, umbrellas, and pillows are provided to let you know she cares about your stay. Some brochures of local attractions are also provided if you are interested

The apartment itself is rather old but still manages to be clean. The bathroom illustrates this most but still manages to give hot water and good pressure.

Dishes, bowls, and cups are also provided to share as long as you clean after yourself (common courtesy, really). The whole experience is rather like having a very courteous and respectful roommate.

The surrounding area (Astoria) is buzzing with diversity and life. Plenty of cheap and good food is around. Also, the N/Q lines are only 3 blocks away from Sheena's apartment.

Came for business, wished I had more time to enjoy N.Y. But if I have the chance, I wouldn't mind staying at Sheena's place again.

TL;DR: Excellent host. Clean and modest apartment that shows its age. But good value nonetheless.
