This modest two bedroom apartment in East Elmhurst is a great launching place to see the city. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the shower works and is good and hot, and it has a lovely kitchen with access to the backyard. You can take the Q33 bus to the Roosevelt Avenue subway. There is also the M60 bus on Ditmars Blvd. that goes directly into Manhattan. The neighborhood is friendly, multicultural and has great food. Try Pio Pio on Northern Blvd for fabulous ceviche and chicken. If you want to have a drink, Dalton's is only a few blocks away and is a lively bar.
