We could not be happier with our stay! Litza and her family were great hosts. The apartment was comfortable (great beds) and quite spacious. Our 8 month old daughter loved the provided baby bathtub, high chair, and toys. The apartment is located on a quiet street that is about a 7 minute walk from the subway (Astoria-Ditmars). Getting to Manhattan was a breeze. Within a 5 minute walk are tons of shops (organic grocery store, produce market, CVS Pharmacy, etc) and a wide variety of restaurants.
