Last Minute Stay in the Big Apple

I am currently in NYC for a trip to visit my family and right before I had to head to the airport my mom made me realize I didn't have a place to stay because I was arriving a full day ahead of her. So, I had to book a last-minute stay in NYC with Airbnb. I looked real quickly and found a steal at about $60 in Sunnyside, Queens.

My host was Aly, a delightful Chinese woman who was really gracious and extremely willing to help me find out how I needed to get places. Also, her apartment was a beautiful 3-bedroom. It was clean and newly renovated. Aly is a relatively new host bus I could tell she was all in.

There is a kitchen/living space. The coffee and tea is open to the guests. That night while we talked she shared her green tea mochi ice cream with me as well.

My room was relatively small but for NYC it was a good size. It was very neat and orderly and the bed was brand new and comfortable. The linens were clean as well and the view was very good.

In general, this was one of the best places I stayed at with Airbnb and other hosting sites and I've stayed at many different places in the last 3 years. I highly recommend staying with Aly in NYC.

A little side blurb: I almost stayed at a potential Airbnb host's place and cancelled after I have a deposit (outside of Airbnb) and when I cancelled she didn't give me my deposit back. I really don't care about the money but her attitude towards the situation didn't make me happy. She's on Crescent street in Long Island City so I recommend you avoid that address.
