This place is represented exactly how it is. I only give 4 stars because the listing says microwave, and unfortunately it was broken for 8 out of 10 days I was there. They have now replaced it with a brand new one so don't worry going forward! Laura is a FIVE STAR host, extremely communicative, friendly, and hospitable but if you don't want that she's out of your way. Honestly she and her husband were the best part of my stay. I got to feel like I was coming "home" instead of to a super-rando spot. The bus lines are right around the corner from their home, and you enter through an alleyway behind the house. I would recommend staying here with a travel buddy. As a woman alone it was a little bit sketchy (can't change the neighbors!), and I definitely know the neighborhood of Jackson Heights, so the 'hood was not a surprise/unfamiliar to me (former New Yorker of 7 years). 7 train express line only runs from 3:30pm-9:35pm so keep that in mind if you're commuting for any reason. If you're looking for a place on a budget - this is your stop! 5 min from LGA, 20min from JFK. Quick in and out, and you're saving a boat load compared to Brooklyn/the city.
