My stay at Hiroki's was pretty much what I expected. The price is good for NY and the location is exactly as described, 3 minutes to the 7 subway (and it's an express stop, so you can get to Manhattan quickly). The common areas could be cleaner and the appliances could be better, half the burners in the stove were broken which made it hard for two people to cook at the same time. My main problem was actually the noise, it's right underneath the route for planes leaving LaGuardia so it can get quite noisy, I couldn't leave the window open or the noise wouldn't let me sleep. Also this room is right next to the kitchen so it often smells like people's cooking and you can hear everything.
Pros: good price, looks exactly as the pictures, Hiroki is a very responsive host and did solve some issues that arose promptly, they clean common areas once weekly, very organised house (labeled space for shoes, for fridge, cupboards, bathroom). The area in Queens is great, tons of grocery stores and places to eat, lots of people walking around at night so feels safe. Very near 7 train.
Cons: noisy from airplanes and nearby subway, this room is specially noisy as next to the kitchen, old stove with broken burners, no toaster, must be careful with leaving things in kitchen as they will throw it out if it's not in your labeled spot or if they think you left, could be cleaner, bed is not the most comfortable.
