The apartment is basement level in a suburb part of Queens. 1 bus every 20-30 minutes. 1 train a mile (25 min) walk away. The place is spacious for 1-2 people. The host was very nice, however the people upstairs will make you want to leave immediately. It sounds like they are moving furniture or body slamming each other on the ground all night long. Also, the smells from their home (food smells, body smells, just smells) come through the vents and it’s not pleasant at all. Also the central air/heat is controlled from upstairs and it’s dark down there. The next door neighbors have a party with a DJ right by the window almost every week. Even though the host was a sweetheart I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are just moving to NY, like peace and quiet, have a weak stomach, or doesn’t have a car. I stayed 25 days and I’m happily in my own place now.
