Julian was super friendly and very welcoming. We arrived late on our first night maybe 8-9pm. As we travelled all the way from Australia. Few days before we left Julian changed our accomodation to what seemed to be a entire house instead of the loft downstairs, with no additional charges due to his work commitments. We agreed to stay there as to book something else would of been super expensive. The house we stayed in was a revolving door people in and out at all hours of the day and night. No privacy what so ever. Nearly every time we came home someone else was there that we had never seen and drinking and smoking on the front steps ... we had to literally step over them to get inside. The kitchen was communal to people living in the house ( private house was a share house) ... bit disappointing as we spent ten days there. The bed was so tiny for two average adults maybe slightly bigger than a single bed. ... bathroom was not great either hair everywhere and bugs... the bugs are because nothing gets closed up of a night ... the best thing about this area is the location ... so close to the subway into manhattan and the restaurants were so good ... super safe neighbourhood and easy access to mini mart (24/7) ... if you are wanting location at half the price of manhattan queens is amazing ... just maybe look at other options before booking this place. We decided that maybe we would of enjoyed it more if we were in the private loft but this house always had people coming in and out so shop around before staying here ...
