The space: Great clean and spacious basement space. The kitchen is wonderful and fully stocked with utensils for people who may want to cook more elaborate meals. The ACs are window units but are more than adequate to keep you cool in the middle of summer. This stay was mainly to give my wife a space to take the bar exam which she was able to take with reliable internet and minimal outside noise.
Check-in: seamless and straightforward! actually pretty convenient.
Area: I live in this area so I'm biased. there are many food places walking distance away. The LIRR is walking distance away for fast travel to Manhattan. In my opinion, it's inconvenient to drive a car in Flushing in general although this area has better parking than more congested areas. I recommend visitors use Lyft/Uber to avoid the hassle of parking and driving.
Communication: Caryn is a fantastic and responsive host.
The only critical feedback I have is that the bed may not be big enough for taller people/couples and the same about the shower.
All in all a 5-star stay. Would love to come back if I do a staycation.
