Great place to stay when you're on a budget and don't mind staying a bit far away from Manhattan. Public transport is superb here, there is a Bus stop with a 15 min ride to Flushing subway station right across the street as well as a small 24h grocery store. It is a very safe and residential area and I felt always comfortable returning from a day and evening spent in Manhattan or Brooklyn even very late at night. Make sure you explore Flushing as it is a very interesting area and offers some of the best chinese food in NYC! Emily is a great host, very friendly and makes sure you have all you need. You wanna bring along a sleeping mask and some earplugs though in case you are sensitive to light and noise during your sleep. The apartment is not very soundproof, the street is noisy and you can hear the neighbours walk and talk next door.
