This apartment is nicer than it looks on the AirBnB site, as lovely as it looks there! The kitchen is spacious and well stocked with dishes, utensils, and pots and pans for cooking. Daniel notes that there is a camera directed at the front door to the apartment for security; the camera is inside the apartment above the kitchen cabinet at the far end of the kitchen, so just be aware that it may take in not just the front door but also the kitchen itself. The living room is great, and wifi and television work reliably, consistently, and well. The bed is very comfortable. A nice touch is that the apartment is equipped with all sorts of charging cords so you don't have to carry your own around with you. One previous reviewer mentioned that the apartment can run cold, but we found it easy to turn up the thermostat on the living room wall and the apartment became warm fairly quickly. Another reviewer mentioned noise from the street, and we found that, without the air-conditioner on (we were there in November), the noise (particularly from garbage trucks collecting garbage from the many restaurants along this vibrant street) was noticeable. But I think in warmer weather, with the air-conditioner on, the noise would not be an issue. And one can wear earplugs at night. On the plus side, it was really fun to hear the ambient chatter from the street; it made me really feel as if I were in NYC!! The apartment is a 5-7 minute walk from the subway, with a train directly into Manhattan in ~10 minutes. There are innumerable amazing restaurants along the street, plus coffee/bagel shops, bakeries, grocery stores, and Union Bros. produce, one of the best fresh produce stores in New York City. Astoria Park, on the East River, is a 20 minute walk away, and offers spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. We really enjoyed just walking around and soaking up the streetlife and charm of Astoria, but we also went into Manhattan and got where we wanted to go quickly and easily. Thank you, Daniel! We will definitely stay here again!!
