Blocks from the heart of Astoria, this spot was such a delight. I took my family (husband + 3yo + 9 month old) for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and this place made the whole trip so easy! We had our own parking spot and it was great to step out of the house with strollers to take in all the festive neighborhood decorations and easily find good food. Everything was spotless: it was as if we were the first people to stay there! AND Sam provided both a pack + play, high chair, and shower tub for the baby so we didn't have to bring our own furniture, which was HUGE! Upon arrival, there was an unbelievable tray of snacks and goodies on the kitchen counter, which was a pleasant surprise. We didn't cook, but the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you'd need and Keurig coffee cups made mornings easy (host also provided cream + milk!). Tons of towels was another bonus (I hate when there's only 1/person). Would love to return for another stay- excellent deal, esp if you know NYC!
