This place was a great value. It's a pretty typical studio apartment - not huge, but I've definitely lived in smaller. LIC is definitely up and coming, so there are always new restaurants/bars/etc popping up. And it's the first stop on the 7 in Queens, which makes commuting pretty convenient to almost anywhere (almost every train line intersects with the 7).
It's reasonably quiet, but it is still NYC so if you're a light sleeper like me you might want earplugs or white noise. The heat worked, as did the internet. No cable but you can plug an HDMI into the TV for streaming. The kitchen has all the appliances you need, but it didn't strike me as a cook's kitchen - no paper towels and no vegetable peeler, for examples. That said, I managed to bake two apple pies and a tray of brownies to bring to my family's Christmas celebrations, so it's definitely functional.
Overall, this was a great find.
