Although Claire is not there, her roommates Emily and Mike were extremely hospitable. For example, we did not bring umbrellas because it was a very short trip and didn't want to pack one around. Emily placed umbrellas on the table for us the following morning without us saying a word! The place was clean and the neighborhood is quiet. I came with my husband and would say that there is a full size bed that probably will not fit anyone over 5'10 comfortably. However, there is also a chaise type day bed in an adjoining room. They provide towels for you and although you all are sharing a bathroom it doesn't really feel like it. It is a very short walk to the Ditmars Station. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I would definitely stay here again. Now for small things that may be useful for travelers but no fault of our hosts: the ditmars station is out of service for year I believe while they work on the track, so you actually have to catch a shuttle bus(free)to get the subway station. Not sure how long this is suppose to last but can be quite inconvenient.
