I spent a week in Vicky’s place. The room is just like the photos. In fact, it’s a bit nicer than the photos: The doorway leads to a private balcony and the view takes in the Unisphere and the tennis stadium in Flushing Meadows Park. With the balcony and proximity to the park, this would be an especially pleasant place to stay when it's not winter. The bed is very comfortable and the shower was excellent after I asked Vicky how it works (you pull down a ring around the spigot). I never met Vicky, but her communications were prompt and efficient. The location is in a quiet residential area, and the closest places to eat or shop are 10 to 15 minutes away walking. There is a small inaccuracy in the description of the common area: There is no high ceiling or sunshine, just doors to a half dozen rooms arranged around a windowless space with a dining table (as pictured, but not as nice as described). But the room is great and I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend it as a base for exploring Flushing!
