I rented this apartment while visiting the city for a week with my mom. We really enjoyed having all the amenities of home including a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom; no need to buy lots of little things or pack a bulky hair dryer! Having lived in Astoria before I knew the neighborhood and Roula was easy and quick with communications and helpful suggestions. One thing to note is that it's about a 15 minute walk to the train station. This was great for us as you get almost zero street noise, but it might not be ideal for those who have trouble walking. The beds were both comfortable and the apartment was very clean and well organized. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the city.
