My friend and me stayed at Yolanda's home for 10 days. Her husband got us from JFK which was pretty convenient to start our vacation. The room and shared bathroom was clean and the house is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood in Queens. You only walk a couple of blocks from the Subway station "85th-Forest Pk" to Yolanda's home. We felt safe there -even walking home in the middle of the night. Yolanda was always good to reach over her cell phone and we can recommend to stay there -especially if Manhattan is too much/noisy all the time.
Thank you/ gracías Yolanda and Francisco :-)
