Absolutely loved staying at Maria's place. We arrived after check in time and communicated with Maria that we would be late. She was totally accommodating which we appreciated. Maria is very friendly and personable. She would text and call to check on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, as well as give us suggestions on events taking place in the area. Additionally, Maria's place is nice, clean, comfortable, has wifi, and conveniently located to public transportation. She also added a nice touch to provided for us cold water, fruits, and cereal for breakfast =). The neighborhood was walkable. We had 5 -20 minute to walk to public transportation to catch the bus or E train, or to walk to Jamaica Avenue(I believe I have the street name correct.) We enjoyed exploring Jamaica, Queens. There are multiple shops, outdoor fruit stands,a public park and several places to eat . We love walking and felt safe and comfortable walking around. We took the subway to Harlem and Manhattan and it was about an hour ride. We also rented a Zipcar for a couple of hours which we picked up 20 minutes away from Maria's place. Lastly, using Lyft to Maria's from a LGA was cheaper than yellow cab =), and it was only a 20 minute ride for $20. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back to stay again! Thanks Maria!
