Nia was a very kind and accommodating host. It should be mentioned that she does not live in the home and that you will be staying with other Airbnb guests. However, you are provided with your own private room, which is clean but a bit noisy as you are directly next to the trains. The neighborhood aside from the trains is not very busy and located beneath the bridge. The access to transportation is excellent as the subway is within a 3 minute walk. As I spent the majority of my time out in the city, I have not much to say about Long Island City itself. However, check-in, check-out, and the overall experience was a breeze.
