You can tell a lot about a person by the atmosphere they create in their home. It was a very peaceful stay at Claudette's home. She is centrally located in Queens to airports, shopping Malls & public transportation to NYC. What more can you expect from your host? My room #1 had a tv with cable for viewing local news (NY1 channel). This will tell you a lot about whats going on in NYC. Room temperature was very good during my early spring visit. Parking was no trouble on the street by her home. So, in summary, you must consider this quite Queens gem during your next visit to NYC!
