We loved staying at the Private Suite in Long Island City. The bedroom and bathroom were both nicely decorated, spacious and functional. I can imagine in Spring or Summer we would have relaxed and enjoyed the weather in the beautiful landscaped garden. It's just one stop from midtown Manhatten, so you do have all the advantages of being close to the city. We also enjoyed walking along the shore with the Manhattan Midtown skyline view and taking the ferry. We can certainly recommend Orestes' Private Suite!
