This was my very first AirBnb experience and thanks to Frances, it was a successful experiment! She was extremely nice and friendly, and helped me with whatever I needed. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood, one feels as if one were in a small town rather than in NY City. As I discovered, Queens is a totally different world than Manhattan or Brooklyn, and I discovered a mini-Chinatown not far away. The only drawback is that if you need to go into Manhattan via public transportation , it will take a while; it is easy to underestimate distances, but if you take a car service of course, then it is different.
