One word, phenomenal!
Brandon is on top of everything, and goes above and beyond to meet any expectation. Is it either a secret spot where to eat or grab a drink, he knows all places in NYC. Also, if you are lucky, he might guide you through the city and gives you a private tour. His knowledge about the City is just incredible.
The accommodation itself is very tasteful and spotless. Although the location is little bit further out in Forest Hills Queens, you have good connection to the train which takes you to Manhattan, Brooklyn and the airport JFK easily. On the other hand Forest Hills has many great places to hang out. You might like explore Austin Street or visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park, home of the Mets (Baseball) and the US Open (Tennis).
In my opinion Brandon’s place is a secret gem and will make your stay most memorable.
