Honestly, I think Queens, New York is a bit underrated and misinterpreted. Queens, found on Long Island, is located in a pretty sweet spot. You’re still close enough to Manhattan to take advantage of all that New York City has to offer (just a quick subway ride away), but you’re still on Long Island making trips east to beautiful towns and beaches like Port Jefferson, Fire Island, and Montauk just a drive or train ride away! Queens is also home to major attractions like the US Open Venue (Flushing Meadows), MoMA PS1, the Queens Botanical Garden, the Worlds Fair Monument and more! Check out one these awesome Airbnbs to make your visit to Queens better.
1. Contemporary apartment (from 80 USD)
This contemporary apartment is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, yet still close to public transportation stops and access points to major highways. While you have complete access to all the apartment has to offer (one bedroom, modern appliances, great location), your hosts also graciously provide you with some cool perks like unlimited tea and coffee, cable TV, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and so much more!

2. Kew Gardens Apartment (from 75 USD)
This lovely apartment is found in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is fully furnished and if you aren’t feeling like venturing out, you can curl up on the couch and watch TV.

3. Modern apartment (from 90 USD)
Hoping to find a brand new apartment that won’t totally blow your budget? Well, in that case, you can stop looking as I’ve found the perfect apartment for you (and a friend). This modern apartment is part of a new construction apartment building. It’s close to the airports (JFK and LGA), just five minutes from the Belmont Stakes Race Track (a fun place to go during early June for The Belmont Stakes), and just a 30-minute drive or 15-minute train/subway ride to Manhattan.

4. Spacious apartment (from 99 USD)
Not satisfied with just one brand new apartment suggestion? Well here’s another. This spacious, one bedroom apartment is located right by St. Johns University, public transportation stops, both JFK and LGA airports, and of course Manhattan. This apartment is a bit larger than the last (sleeps four instead of two), which means you can bring more than just one travel buddy; it also comes with a fully stocked kitchen, stainless steel appliances, Netflix, and even a security system if you’re hesitant about staying in a new city.
