Hey there fellow travelers!
Rosa's place is a clean, hospitable, honest and clean environment to stay in NY.
It was a pleasure to meet her, she was very quick to respond from the get go here and followed up immediately as I arrived in NY until I checked in my room.
The surroundings: LIC and Astoria are thriving multicultural neighborhoods picked up by gentrification plans and therefore, you've got hundreds of choices -literally- for places to eat and hang out all day round. Parks and river walks included.
Hope you have a great time too.
I'll be back :)
