“Great alternative to staying in the city!”
By: Maribel from Coast, Florida USA

Date of stay: August 2009
Review Posted: August 22, 2009

We stayed at “The Precious Jewel” for a week in the beginning of August. We are New Yorkers

that grew up in Astoria and opted to rent vs stay with family. The apartment is as luxurious as

pictured and my first thought was “not exactly child friendly” as we have 2 children ages 4 years and 22 months. However our stay was marvelous! It was just like being in a 5 star hotel with a lot more room.

The children had their own room with TV and I did not have to worry about cleaning as there was

daily room service! We rented a car (because of the kids) and did not find parking a hassle at all

but a car is not necessary as public transportation was less than a 5 minutes walk.
We had our friends visit us in the evening, it was like home away from home.

The apartment is surrounded by great restaurants and the owners provide a guide of local

restaurants that deliver. There was a gorgeous basket filled with delicious fruit & cookies

upon our arrival. Due to our mutual busy schedule we did not have the opportunity to meet
the owners personally but they were in touch via phone making sure we were doing well.

We hope to get the opportunity to meet in May 2010, when we plan anothe rvisit to

NY and to this gorgeous apartment.

“Most wonder X-mas!”
By: Marianne from Vienna, Austria
Date of stay: December 21 through January 3, 2009
Review Posted: January 11, 2009

It was the best idea to pass X-mas and
New Year in the Precious Jewel apartment.
We had a most cordial welcome, finding a really beautiful X-mas tree and a huge gift basket.
All the descriptions were correct and the servicewas excellent. The owners helped us in any
question we had and we past wonderful holidays. In the close surroundings we
found the train, shops, restaurants and supermarkets. We can highly recommend this
place as we also felt very safe throughout the whole stay.

“Would highly recommend!”
By: Una from London, England
Date of stay: October 24 through October 31, 2008
Review Posted: November 27, 2008

We stayed here for a week in October and it was brilliant. The apartment was in fantastic condition,
most of the equipment seemed brand new. It was cleaned every day which meant I
could have a “real break” from domestic duties! The location was great, very close to 2 subways.
We went into the City every day and it was nice to come out to Queens at the end of a long days
shopping and sightseeing. Would highly recommend this apartment and
Edgar & Suzanne were most welcoming and friendly.

“The most perfect holiday!”
By: Karen & Becca from Dublin, Ireland
Date of stay: March 22, through March 27, 2009
Review Posted: April 6, 2009

We had gone to the US to visit family and Precious Jewel was located just a couple of blocks away.
The apartment was perfect - a home from home. Suzanne and Edgar welcomed us when we arrived
and we were delighted with our abundent welcome basket and the daily replenishment of coffee & tea - not
to mention the excellent daily cleaning service - which was tailored to suit our ‘late rising’ each day.
The restaurants and bars close by were great and the train to the city was just a few minutes away.
There was also shopping and cinema in the vicinity and we also fitted in a
visit to the local museum. We highly recommend a visit to Precious Jewel it is a modern,
clean and very comfortable apartment and we hope to visit again.

“Great alternative to staying in the city!”
By: Miles & Nicholle from Asheville, NC USA
Date of stay: May 13, through May 17, 2009
Review Posted: June 2, 2009

We stayed @ the Precious Jewel in May 2009 for 4 nights - 2 adults and 1 child.
The apartment was very spacious and very nicely furnished. We are used to staying in
4 star hotels, and this place was at par with much more space! The location is perfect -
a very short ride from LaGuardia airport, a short walk to the subway to get to the city
(faster then driving/parking), plus the neighborhood is great with grocery, nightlife and
shops open late. The daily housekeeping was excellent as was the flowers and fruit
basket upon our arrival. Will definately stay again on next trip to NYC.
