The space
Welcome to your home base in Flushing! Our goal is to create a memorable home experience that you will adore the moment you enter.
Entry:
The big, airy foyer is tiled with concrete slabs with brass accents, that evoke an open air siheyuan courtyard. There is plenty of room to set down your luggage or shopping bags. You can take off your shoes and put on slippers if you choose.
Great Room:
As you pass through the wide pocket door into the main space, you enter an immersive modern interior designed to highlight clean lines, feng shui flow, big windows and natural light. Selected vintage pieces, many original to the apartment, impart a playful sense of history and the optimism of mid century design.
The open living area is made for congenial interaction, with a fluffy feathery sofa and plenty of flexible seating, perfect for chilling and chatting, or binging on some Netflix. There is also dedicated desk space for your laptop. There is a niche with a nap-ready daybed that can convert to two cot-sized beds or one queen. A wonderful nook to curl up in with a novel, the niche also has a record player and vintage records, mostly from the 80s, for some old-school analog entertainment.
Kitchen & Dining:
If you don’t feel like eating out at one of the many neighborhood restaurants (which include several in the Michelin guide), you can order in. Or you can cook in our well equipped kitchen. If we don’t have what you need, there’s a restaurant supply store a block away! Enjoy your meals at our super-instagrammable koi wallpaper banquette. Or dine at the vintage mid-century walnut table for 8. So go ahead, take your seats and bon appetit!
Bedrooms:
Both bedrooms are spacious and immaculate, modern yet cozy. Each has a Windmill window AC to keep you cool during the summer. We use quality linens to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We provide armoires with plenty of storage for all your stuff.
Bathrooms:
Inspired by the peaceful atmosphere of a classical Chinese garden, the primary bath is a true spa experience that will make you feel like pampered royalty. Spacious and spotless, our amenities offer the essentials to elevate your bathing experience, including a towel warmer, hinoki wood bathmat, non-paraben toiletries, and Turkish cotton bathrobes for your use. Enjoy a relaxing soak in our extra big tub (lavender bath salts on us). Have a refreshing rainfall shower, or a pulsating waterfall shower that will soothe achy muscles after a long flight or an adventurous day spent exploring the city. There is a private entrance into the primary bath from one of the bedrooms; the other bedroom has its own en suite half bath.
Come and have a great time here! The space is bright and full of good vibes. We are located in the best part of downtown Flushing, with easy public transportation to Manhattan. We are two blocks to LIRR, four blocks to the 7 subway (ride it to the end to go to Hudson Yards), and multiple bus lines on the corner. One subway stop or a 30 minute urban hike will take you to a Mets game, or to Arthur Ash Stadium for the U.S. Open!
It’s an easy stroll to the Queens Botanical Gardens, shopping malls, mainstream and Asian specialty grocery stores, and diverse retailers selling K-beauty, anime collectibles, Asian housewares and so much more. Explore the eclectic street vendors along Main Street, where you may find a treasure, or at least a souvenir, amongst the antiques for sale.
Other things to note
Notice that this is a busy urban location with traffic, sirens and occasionally a plane on its way to Laguardia when the wind blows a certain way as LGA is only 15 mins away.
Note that the apartment is modernized and renovated, but the building public areas not yet renovated. Overall the complex is very clean and safe with many security monitors.
Where you’ll be
Queens, New York, United States
Flushing, Queens is the fourth-largest business district in New York City; It is home to New York’s largest Chinatown and a diverse population with a large immigrant community. Increasingly, Flushing has become a tourist destination of its own, offering a fast-paced, exciting mix of foodie dining, shopping, hotels and new developments that create a forward-looking, internationalist sensibility.
The neighborhood is full of restaurants, everything from famous dimsum banquet halls to tiny stalls, to nighttime vendors grilling spicy skewers over open fires. Groceries, pharmacies, salons and anything you may possibly need is within walking distance.
LIRR is just 2 blocks away, subway 4 blocks and buses are on the corner! LaGuardia Airport is only 4 miles away.
Don’t forget to save some time for a visit to the Queens Botanical Gardens, an intimate alternative to the bigger gardens in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Or take in the latest blockbuster at the new Regal 4DX theater. Or check out the dessert restaurants along the white-hot Prince Street dining corridor. Or spend the day at Spa Castle, a five story Korean style spa with multiple saunas and pools!
If you love tennis, the US Open at Arthur Ashe stadium is only one subway stop away! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can open up GoogleMaps and do a 30 minute urban hike to get there! You can also take in a ball game if the Mets are playing at home.
The apartment is located on a residential block that is next to the main commercial activity and public transportation. Please note that this is still a busy urban location; traffic and other city noises may sometimes be audible in the apartment.
