  • Louis is great! He's super nice. When my flight got in late, he called to make sure I was okay and gave me exact directions to his place to give to the taxi driver. That actually was a nice touch because the taxi driver had no idea where to go. The beds are comfortable and the other guests were nice and respectful. The hostel is a block and a half from the train and an easy 15-minute ride on the 7 into midtown Manhattan. It's on the west side of Queens, so extremely close to the city.

  • I was sad when I first arrive so happy for firstnight then on second night someone stolen my wallet and passport. I had very diffi ult to deal wih police nothing they can do. I had to return back to romania. I didnt get any chance of good time in new york city. My plan was for 1 week in new york city. I only stayed 2 days . It was painful for me.

  • My stay here was awesome! It was in a very nice part of Queens that had everything I needed at reach. Louis was wonderful and down to earth. Our room was comfortable and spacious enough. Never ever had to wait in line for the bathroom. I highly recommend it.

  • Staying with Louis was wonderful. He made me feel right at home. There are restaurants, banks and everything else that you may need just blocks away. I'd recommend this place to everyone!

  • This place is indeed unique. You won´t feel like you´re staying at a hostel but at the house of a person who is very nice and will try to do anything in his power to make you have a pleasant time. In my opinion, the cleanliness of this place deserves a good instead of an excellent, but in value for money it should get a double excellent.

  • This is not a hostel. I consider it a CouchSurfing home that you pay for, with a lot of CouchSurfers. When I came there I thought I was mistaken because I only saw a regular house, with garbage in the front lawn. The address on hostels.com is incorrect, real address is 47-09 43rd Avenue, Queens. I didn't like the atmosphere (stange visitors, some slept on couches) and so did my room mate. We both booked for 3 days but left after 1. The owner is actually a nice guy but I only met him when I left

  • The penthouse is just an awesome place with some nice room mates. Louis is extremely helpful, but he is a busy man.

Practically, Barcelona is a pretty easy city to navigate on foot or by public transport with a well laid-out grid system for the streets and a simple metro system. Here's an example of what you can do with 24 hours and a T10 (10 journey) metro ticket.
