Self check in was a breeze, and you may even be allowed to check in earlier if you message in advance. The room was plain but nice, if occasionally slightly cold (this was during Dec/Jan) from the somewhat draughty windows. The thermostat however is accessible in the hallway and in general temperature was not an issue. Bathrooms were nice. There is a kitchen, however the you cannot use the oven as there is no kitchenware, just plates and bowls, so you're stuck with the microwave. There is a table and chairs in the kitchen if you wish to eat in the apartment, but not in your bed. It's a easy, if slightly long, walk from the 7 subway train and the center of flushing, where there is great Asian food available and shopping opportunities. Seeing this neighbourhood which otherwise I would have missed was the highlight of my stay at this location.
There were other guests in this location, sharing the kitchen area, who often spoke very loudly and occasionally yelling could be heard.
Additionally, due to proximity to LaGuardia airport (which is easy to get to, if needed) there were occasional flights that could disturb your sleep but where generally not too loud.
Overall, a simple but nice place to stay on a budget
