I only stayed one day at Alberto's place for business. The apartment is very clean, but I'm pretty sure the bed linens were not washed before making the bed. They were incredibly starchy feeling, with no trace of laundering in the smell. In addition, the bed itself was not one I'd want to sleep on night after night, since the springs were easily palpable with the touch if your hand. If you are planning to spend late nights in the city as a tourist, this far out in queens is probably not ideal, but was okay for my purposes. Otherwise the neighborhood is quite nice. Unfortunately, due to the bed situation, I cannot recommend Alberto's place. If he upgrades the mattress, even a little, it would be a huge improvement.
