In the beginning we wanted to stay at a hotel in central Manhattan, but fortunately for us we saw Orestes room on the internet and it was an even better place to stay. It was great to be able to withdraw to the Queens peace and quiet after a long day in Manhattan - and only one subway stop away. Orestes house is located in a historically beautiful street and the room is comfortably furnished with a touch of creative people. Nice bathroom with a shower big enough for two and the sunny garden... More »

We stayed two nights at Orestes' and it was, from far, our best AirBnB experience ever. The very spacious room is in a Queens historic district (very close to 5ptz, PS1 Moma and a typical American Diner...). We had everything we needed (wifi, clean and big private bathroom, comfortable bed...). We absolutely recommend this place (which is only one stop from Manhattan - Lexington Av. /49th).

Orestes was a great host! He was very helpful with any questions I asked him, and I had a lot :) It was my first time in NYC, and he definitely made it easier with his recommendations (especially when it came to public transportation.) He has a beautiful home. I wanted to take that shower home with me! Heaven! Great location too! The E train and 7 train were about a block away, and there is a 24 hour diner right around the corner!

My husband and I stayed for a week in January; the room and bathroom were warm, very clean, visually appealing, and comfortable. We met Orestes briefly, as he was out of town most of the time, and he is extremely hospitable and helpful. Chris, who was around the rest of the time, was also kind and available for any questions. The location is convenient to a grocery store, decent diner, and several subway lines; it's pretty simple to get to Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan. Future guests... More »

What a wonderful holiday and a wonderful place to stay! We were unsure about staying in Queens is opposed to Manhattan, worried that we might feel slightly out of the way, but we had absolutely no need to worry at all - the subway is round the corner (next to the best chinese take-away ever!) and really does take you to the thick of it within ten minutes. There is also a lovely river walk about 15 minutes away which give you the most wonderful views of Manhattan, and there are loungers to... More »

We wanted a place to stay close to everything but quiet and comfortable and we got it. Orestes is a great guy and his place is beautiful. We could be in central Manhatten in10 minutes, the 7 line is a 2 minute walk just around the corner. But when we were tired we could relax here, in perfect peace and quiet. We always felt safe and welcome. Thanks Orestes- we'll definitely come back.

I had a great time staying here with my family. Orestes was extremely nice and thoughtful of us as guests. The room is lovely and the bathroom is great. As a whole it was a relaxing week here. With a beautiful garden and access to everything we need regarding accommodation. Better than any hotel I would say. And Orestes I thought I left my shoes there. They are pretty old anyway so you can throw them out! Thanks!!

The host canceled my reservation 10 days before arrival.

My stay with Orestes couldn't have been better. He is a warm, kind and gentle person with a fabulous place and a sweet dog. I enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful artwork in a serene and rich environment that was created in Orestes' vision. If the weather had been warmer, I would have spent some time in his garden oasis. The location is convenient to midtown and Brooklyn without the Manhattan price tag. Plus, there's a great coffee shop/restaurant around the corner and an authentic 24hr.... More »
