A friend and I stayed at Alex’s place during the U.S. Open. It was the perfect location (20 minutes to Flushing and 20 minutes to Times Square on the 7 subway). The neighborhood was very cute and felt very safe, even when walking very late at night back from the tournament. The accommodations were large, comfortable, and clean. The basement stayed very cool during the very hot summer days. Alex was a very responsive host to everything we needed and provided a guest guide with great suggestions for food and activities around Queens. The kitchenette has basics, but not a separate sink, so the bathroom sink had to be used for washing any dishes we cooked with. Despite this, we easily made breakfast (eggs and toast) every morning with zero problems. We will definitely be staying here again when we return next year!
