I recommend to stay at Daniel's place. Communication with him was very easy and quick. The neighbourhood of Queens is very nice, quiet and safe, within a few minutes there are upcoming areas (Steinway, 30th Avenue ...) and the connection to Manhattan is also very good.
Daniel is a very nice guy and he helped us with some recommendations for restaurants and also for the subway. Although the room we stayed in was small, it was no problem as the apartment overall is big enough. We actually never saw the other guests or Daniel while we were staying, only when he handed out the keys to us.
