Carlos is a very nice guy. Our flight arrived 2 hours late, and when we finally got to the apartment he was over to check us in within 4 minutes. The apartment is a simple Queens apartment that meets all of the needs for a time away from home. Although we did not use the kitchen, there is one available and there is a full size fridge to store leftovers in if needed. The bed was comfortable and the room was large enough to comfortably fit 2 people and a few suitcases. The neighborhood was awesome. We were in walking distance to some great cafe's for breakfast, and a wide variety of ethnic food locations for dinner. The neighborhood is also very quiet, and felt extremely safe, the road is well lit and people are out walking their dogs and biking during all hours of the day. The apartment is right next to a bus that can take you directly to Laguardia Airport, so no need for a taxi. It is also a 6 minute walk to the N subway train, which will take you directly to Time Square, Rockefeller Plaza, Empire State Building, and even Brooklyn or Coney Island if that is what you are looking for. This was very important to us, as we used the transit system as our primary means of transportation. I would absolutely recommend Carlos' apartment, and I would gladly stay again if I were to travel back through NYC. :)
