Our accommodation in Queens turned out to be a very comfortable and spacious environment for a stay (in our case) of a week. We came specifically to visit Manhattan and the subway line took us into the city in 30 minutes by express. The subway was an easy and safe 4 block walk from the AirBnB.
We appreciated the cleanliness of the basement apartment and also the attention to detail in providing for and anticipating the needs of guests. Indeed on the one day it threatened rain, we had umbrellas left for our use.
There were plenty of towels, hot water and snacks plus every amenity you can thing of.
