Luz and her family were very responsive and responsible hosts. They dealt with a smoke alarm issue quickly. The host's family member who lives there was not present, so I had the place to myself. Accommodations were straightforward and simple, nothing fancy. It was a place for me to sleep and shower. It was a surprisingly quiet place, considering the area and the neighbors. The proximity to the subway could not be beat, although Roosevelt Ave in that location is a little rough, although I didn't feel particularly unsafe walking alone (Jackson Hts is hopping with people at all hours). The cost absolutely cannot be beat for NYC.
