Ocean Blue Room

Reviews

• Reviewer: Krishna

  Comments: Great place, comfortable, private. Only problem was that the window in the bathroom was open, with a clear view to the apartments across the street.

• Reviewer: Kendra

  Comments: I loved Joe's place , he was a great host ! He communicated to me very well, and made my stay very well, he's honestly one of the best Airbnb host ... this is refreshing booking him especially after recently having a bad experience from somewhere else, but he made my stay well worth the while ! I would definitely recommend him and use him again

• Reviewer: Kendra

  Comments: Place is great as usual

• Reviewer: Michelle

• Reviewer: Victor

  Comments: Joes place the ocean blue room is amazing. Its super clean..bathroom kitchen all of it. The host is accommodating and provides everything you need. 3 blocks from public transportation to manhattan. Definitely a value stay. Just make sure you contact joel in advance to make arrangements. Our communication was a bit slow times. Other than that this room is perfect.

• Reviewer: Mike Yu-Chuan

  Comments: Joe's place is at a convenient location and very comfortable. Thank you so much for being a nice and sweet host.

• Reviewer: Moses

  Comments: Joe is one of the nicest people I've ever met. The room itself is pretty small (not much space besides the two twin beds and the closet), but Joe gave us use of his full house, his kitchen, bathroom (though there's only one, which can cause a small line if everyone needs it) and living room and really anything we asked. When we needed to stay an extra day, he let us, and when we needed to stay an extra week, he found us another place and hooked us up with a deal. He's just a fantastic guy, and I absolutely promise that you will not regret staying here.

• Reviewer: Darren

  Comments: Joe is a really nice guy and help me a lot! He can also rent bike to guest in Manhattan, but it's a pity for me because of raining.

• Reviewer: Abhishek

  Comments: Place was well located, close to everything. Stay was ok.

• Reviewer: Hoàng

  Comments: Good but maybe causes confusing due to incorrect information.

• Reviewer: Perry

  Comments: Room as described in a safe, convenient and friendly neighbourhood. Joe is a super friendly host who goes out of his way to make you comfortable, which includes letting me wait around the house for my night flight. Thank you!

• Reviewer: Joseph

  Comments: I picked this place for a simple stay ahead of a morning flight. The room itself was ok, but there were issues checking in (not helped by a slightly confusing house guide that left it ambiguous on which entrance to go through) and when the instructions on entering the property didn't work the host was uncontactable. The other guests staying there were noisy and inconsiderate, and the communal areas untidy. Would not stay there again.

• Reviewer: Thet Maw

  Comments: Joe's place is great. He earned the reputation that he's got.

• Reviewer: Sam

  Comments: The biggest problem I had was that we were stuck outside of the home for 10 minutes because we were provided with the wrong access code. The host provided us with the correct one but by then we were late for our concert. We were also given the wrong address for our room and when I noticed it did not match the pictures nothing was done to resolve the issue until we were already asleep that night. It sounds like it was an honest mistake on the host's pet but it made our stay less enjoyable. However, the home we had access to was reasonably clean and quiet and a good value so overall it was not a terrible experience.

• Reviewer: Stephen

  Comments: Joe's house is clean and comfortable, and Joe went out of his way to make sure my stay was good. It was a short walk from all the stores, public transportation and my office, so it was very convenient. Room A/C made it comfortable despite summer heat. I would recommend this place to stay for one or two people. Inside was nice and clean.

• Reviewer: C

  Comments: Joe place was very lovely, quiet and clean. I would definitely stay there again or recommend it.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: The good: Close proximity to subway (M, R lines, and E late at night) and to eating places/watering holes, including the cluster of bars and restaurants by the intersection of Austin St. and 70th Road in Forest Hills. Safe, albeit commercial neighborhood (good depending on what you're looking for, good access to shopping since the Queens Center mall and Duane Reade is right there). Easy to come and go at any hour. Host is flexible. Parking available. The less good: Affordable but very spartan. Bathroom could definitely be cleaner. Bedroom door can be bolted from inside, but no way to lock when you leave.

• Reviewer: Kensuke (Ken)

  Comments: I have never had chance to meet Joe but the stay was great. Flexible with parking and check-in. I would repeat this place again.

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: The place is very convenient to the subway station. The neighborhood seemed safe. There was parking for one vehicle outside the garage. Otherwise, street parking seemed reasonable for New York standards. Check in was easy as the host provided detailed instructions. Had a hard time getting a hold of the host by phone/text and app when I had some questions. You get what you pay for. A/C was right beside the bed which was nice. Bathroom is shared with other guests but that wasn't a problem for us at all. Good value overall.

• Reviewer: Amudhan

  Comments: Good place to stay at reasonable price . Easy access to public transport and good eat out near this place .

• Reviewer: Philip

  Comments: Really nice place and it turned out very suitable, but I didn't hear anything back about the place until very last minute dispite many many emails. It was honestly very disconcerting. To the hosts benefit, he seems very hard working and the place he offers is very nice and in a good location but I almost counted it out until I got the directions as I was on my way to NYC. I would hesitantly reccomend staying here if you are solo or a couple but if I had kids it would be a hard no. Way too much uncertainty.

• Reviewer: Arjyo

  Comments: Joe's place was as advertised. A great deal for the money and a lovely neighborhood. Not only was Joe a great host, the place was clean and well maintained. The only issue I had was an initial communication hookup when I wasnt being able to reach Joe. Everything else was perfect however.

• Reviewer: Claritza

  Comments: Love the location ! Secure, parking available love that! When you can't even find a parking in a city like ny! Bathroom no best.. but the bed sheets were very clean also the house! For the price not bad!

• Reviewer: Ting-Fen

  Comments: I didn't receive the instruction, so it took some time to enter the house. Joe was not picking up the phone and answering the ring bell. I sent airbnb message to find out that his friend took care of the house. The room is just like the picture, but the problem is I didn't get a clean towel. The location is pretty good since it's close to the metro station.

• Reviewer: Gaston

  Comments: nice stay here. Super recommended.

• Reviewer: Antonio

  Comments: Joe is great. Very amicable and highly intelligent. We enjoyed his conversation and hospitality. Wonderful stay for us, very welcoming and highly independent. If you don't mind a trip in the subway, this place is better than staying in Manhattan.

• Reviewer: Liao

  Comments: Joe is very friendly...and the room is lovely..we enjoyed it a lot..

• Reviewer: Brian

  Comments: It's a good area, the room wasn't clean enough, I found towels used before, I couldn't use the TV but it's fine cheap and comfy

• Reviewer: Sung

  Comments: good!

• Reviewer: Tengis

  Comments: Joe was kind and nice to me. I'd a great time in Joe's house. Things were better than the pictures. Clean and comfortable beds, shared living and kitchen room, quiet area. Just can't say great location for Manhattan travelers.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: We had a nice stay at Joe's home. He was very accommodating when we arrived our first night at 11:30pm - our room was ready for us, and he saved us a space to park in his driveway. As well, his home is near many markets, restaurants, and drug stores and very walkable to the Billie Jean King Tennis Center, the reason for our visit.

• Reviewer: Stephen

  Comments: Joe is very helpful. His place is clean. I would stay again.

• Reviewer: Manjeet

  Comments: Nice and clean place.

• Reviewer: Diana Alis

  Comments: I really liked my stay in Joe's apartment. If you are looking for a place where you sleep at night, wake up in the morning and head out to explore the city and come back late in the afternoon to go to sleep again, this is the perfect place for you. The thing that I liked the most is the closeness to the subway (63 Rego Park subway station - make sure to exit at 64 st) and the shopping area in Rego Park (you can find Marshall's, Burlington Coat Factory, TjMaxx and Century21) and at a subway stop away (Woodheaven Blvd) you can find the Queens Mall. The location 30 minutes away from Manhattan.

• Reviewer: Tanuja

  Comments: Had a good stay at Joe's.

• Reviewer: Nikhil

  Comments: Joe is a great host and very accommodating! I parked my car at the wrong house and he informed me and prevented the homeowners from having it towed. Great value close to train and restaurants!

• Reviewer: Ville

  Comments: Very good value. Clean room was as expected. Close to subway with a 40 minute trip to Manhattan. The neighbourhood feels safe and there are nearby restaurants. Wifi worked decently well.

• Reviewer: Stephen

  Comments: Always good to stay here.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Just a few blocks from the subway, easy to access, and the room was perfect for one person. A.C. was a blessing!

• Reviewer: Mihai

  Comments: Nice place in a nice area, I recommend it to anyone!

• Reviewer: Raquibul

  Comments: great place

• Reviewer: William

  Comments: It was clean. It waseems what just need. A bed to sleep. The place had full kitchen. If don't want to cook there are many food options.

• Reviewer: Albinot

  Comments: Safe environment quiet place

• Reviewer: George

  Comments: Overall it was a pretty decent place to stay. Close to a train station, which was convenient to get around the city. It was a little confusing to find the place because the address listed is the back side of the house and you must go to the other side around the block to get in. He tells this to the guests, but only at the time of check in when someone may already probably be there waiting. Also it was an instant booking which is helpful, but I could not get a hold of the host and did not hear from him until check in time.

• Reviewer: Sean

  Comments: I like this place. The neighborhood is cool and quiet. Excellent from start to finish.

• Reviewer: Joshua

  Comments: My son and I stayed at Joe's. He was friendly and helpful. 5 min. walk to the R train and a 30-40 min ride into Manhattan. We also came from JFK a 45-60 min. ride on the airtrain(extra cost) and R train. When we left we used the Q60bus ( since the R doesn't run super early). Still took around an hour total.

• Reviewer: Sajjad

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: Nice place. Close to all

• Reviewer: Rachel

  Comments: Great location, especially if you just need a place to crash like we did. Pretty much bare bones so it worked for us but if you need to cook, etc. might not be the place for you. We liked that it was so close to the subway and we could park for free (and safely) whenever we needed. Joe is wonderful and very responsive and helpful!

• Reviewer: Stephen

• Reviewer: Miriam

  Comments: Muy bueno

• Reviewer: Leonardo

  Comments: el departamento tiene una ubicacion es excelente en un barrio tranquilo, la cama es comoda y el aire acondicionado funciono perfecto y siempre estuvo silencioso, ademas tiene internet y tv con netflix, el baño es compartido y tiene buena limpieza en general. la entrada al depa es por la lavanderia y es un poco complicada y angosta pero de facil acceso por cerradura electronica.

• Reviewer: Derek

  Comments: Good place to crash for a night on short notice. Liked common balcony to chill on was not expecting that at this price. Slight hiccups on checkin but worked it out after couple calls.

• Reviewer: Josh

  Comments: Pretty basic place. Room has a small tv and Netflix. For the price it was perfect for me just staying 1 night before my flight.

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: Very nice place. Safe neighborhood and close to all

• Reviewer: Takafumi

  Comments: Great value for its price. It is near the subway station. It is very convenient for me to go to Manhattan from this place. Joe was helpful in my stay. When I asked him for new shampoo, he brought new shampoo immediately.

• Reviewer: Tavarekere

  Comments: Communication needs improvement

• Reviewer: Christopher

  Comments: Good if you need a place to crash after or before a flight - since very easy access via public transport to both JFK & LaGuadia. The place—especially the bathroom—could & should be cleaner. The WiFi didn’t work well, and the tv didn’t connect to the internet so there was no Netflix as advertised. Overall good value, given the price of lodging in NYC, but just recognize that it’s pretty bare bones accommodation. Some good places to eat nearby.

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: Host of hosts Goes out of his way to help even when not present. Easy to communicate with Have stayed here more than once. Helped me when I needed help. Great guy

• Reviewer: Jakub

  Comments: It was a good stay in a good location for a good price. Only 1 problem was with check in. Joe said that i can arrive after 2pm so i did and room wasn't ready so i couldn't use room until 8pm when Joe arrived

• Reviewer: Yawen

  Comments: Description doesn’t match. Host isn’t hospitable.

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: Great place. Good area

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: Always great. Nice location.

• Reviewer: Jamie

  Comments: Host was a no-show, no entrance information was provided, no messages or calls ever answered. I missed my flight, booked this instant book listing at 8pm and arrived at 11pm. I asked for the entrance information as soon as I booked and let him know what time I would be arriving, but never heard back. I walked 4 blocks uphill from the subway to stand outside in the cold at 11pm, this was a terrible experience. Thankfully my previous air bnb host was amazing and saved me. 5 stars to Varos in Long Island City!

• Reviewer: Chase

  Comments: Great location. Simple and overall nice place to stay. Easy and convenient check in/check out process. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of stores nearby. The subway is just a few blocks away, making it an easy commute to Manhattan.

• Reviewer: Justin

  Comments: An amazing laid back stay with all the amenities you could dream of. This is a 5 star stay.

• Reviewer: Maria Pilar

  Comments: El alojamiento de Joe es tal cual lo que se anuncia; un sitio para ir a dormir despues de recorrer todo dia Manhattan, Queens o Brooklyn. Yo renté el Blue Room (tiene un Beige room que es un poco mas amplio y con mejor tele). El cuarto es super pequeño, pero no necesitabamos movernos mucho por la habitacion. Las camas son comodas, las almohadas y acolchados tambien. Hay que sacarse los zapatos apenas entrar. Las areas comunes bien, pero tampoco se utilizan mucho, mas que la cocina, que si usamos. La ubicacion es genial! Barrio residencial, muy lindo y seguro por la noche, a menos de 3 cuadras del subte que te lleva directo a Manhattan o a donde quieras! Lo recomiendo para aquellos que tienen bajo prespuesto y no les importa dormir en un cuarto compacto y no tener amenities.

• Reviewer: Jameelah

  Comments: Great place for the value, I've stayed several time. Joe is great, and readily available if needed.

• Reviewer: Sierra

  Comments: Overall a great experience for me and my traveling companion! Joe was a nice and easy host, contact was at a minimum, but we knew he was available if we needed him. The ideal host shouldn’t need a lot of contact, in our opinion. The AirBnB had a great location and the space was perfect for getting some sleep and catching a shower at the end of each day. It could have been a little cleaner, it it was minor things like hair and dust on the floors. ALSO, we would recommend that you verify the passcode before your arrival. We were sent the wrong one, but fortunately Joe answered our first phone call and gave us the correct one (but you might not be so lucky, so check beforehand, haha)! We give this AirBnB 4.5/5 stars! The improvements that could be made are minor and we would not have a problem returning in the future.

  Comments: I have stayed here several times. It's a good location for me. Always clean and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Malin

  Comments: It’s a perfect location for local shopping and trains to Manhattan! Excellent solution with a combination lock for the door :)

• Reviewer: Agnes

  Comments: As visitors from out of state, visiting family in a nearby hospital, Joe’s place is a nice quiet place to rest up. It is spacious and clean. He has a washer and dryer to wash clothes, such a plus!! And we were able to use his driveway instead of hard to find on-street parking. Amazing host and amazing hospitality! He gets 5 stars from us! Incredibly better than staying at a hotel. Thank you Joe for everything!

• Reviewer: Petrus

• Reviewer: Aung

• Reviewer: Xuyin

  Comments: Joe's super friendly. He invited me to enjoy his meal and also offered some medicine for my mum because her got a cold. Thanks buddy!

• Reviewer: Eduardo

  Comments: Joe is a very nice guy. He always showed willingness to help. His neighborhood is very nice and safe. Best of all, very close to a subway station that can take you to Manhattan. If you have a car, you can talk to him to get parking as well. I’d definitely stay again & recommend it

• Reviewer: Eduardo
