You can't go wrong booking Gladys and Bob's apartment in Queens. The subway is only a couple of minutes walk away, there are many local stores in the neighbourhood, many of which are owner run, and yet it is in a quiet area. Subway trains to and from both Manhattan and JFK airport are frequent and efficient.

But most of all it is the friendliness and efficiency of Gladys and Bob that makes the place. Gladys was efficient and helpful before we arrived, gave us helpful suggestions while we were there and arranged our (very early) taxi the day we left.

We much preferred staying in this spacious apartment than in a cramped over-priced downtown hotel.

Thanks Gladys and Bob. You are hosts who truly go above and beyond what is expected.
