My stay at Tony’s place was an immersive experience into this dense food-rich Asian Manhattan-esque downtown surrounded by a mini-suburbia.
Cyrus graciously gave me a tour of this charming space. His sense of hospitality was sincere, warm, and welcoming. He was adamant about making sure I had what I needed to ensure my stay in Flushing was an enjoyable one.
Upon entry, I noticed central AC/heating, a full bath (with body soap and shampoo), washer + dryer (no detergent / fabric softener), full kitchen with laptop-friendly counter, living room w/TV, a balcony, and bedroom with ample closet to tuck your things away. This modern space with Asian accents looks fairly new, barely lived in, and its exceptionally clean.
Things I immediately loved include the laundry area cleverly stacked and hidden behind collapsing wooden doors. Ingenious use of space! I dig the thick gold curtains that not only plays into the Asian theme but also gives the room a golden glow when the sun attempts to seep through. Nice touch! Perched on the balcony, the neighborhood has the pleasurably permeating feel of an Asian city. While Chinese predominate, there is a sizable Korean community here as well. Balcony is a beautiful bonus!
My only quirk about the space was there wasn’t an iron immediately available. However, Cyrus generously offered to bring one by the following day which I appreciated.
Cyrus is a responsive communicator and helpful. He was easily reachable throughout my stay and made me feel right at home by sharing his hand drawn map of the immediate neighborhood. His response time is within minutes and his communication is always friendly. He was even kind enough to express his gratitude for my stay on my way out.
I can’t write this review and express my appreciation for this lively bustling Queens neighborhood which also happens to be home to some of the city's best attractions, including world-class sports venues, lush gardens and performance spaces. Everything you might need is within walking distance. Whether you're looking for the most authentic Asian cuisine, an ancient herbal remedy or an impossible-to-find Japanese comic book, Flushing is the place to go!
Overall, I’d return again. I love this neighborhood’s hustle and bustle coupled with convenience. Would certainly recommend to any metropolitan spirits coming to visit. Thank you Cyrus! Thank you Tony!
