I highly recommend 'Cil's place! The perfect location in Astoria and only a 20 minute train ride to the city. A huge bonus is that the metro station is only a 5 minute walk away. There are so many options to eat in the area, and we loved that they were all walking distance! 'Cil's place is so cozy and made me feel at home - a great place to unwind after a full day in the city. The beds were so comfortable, it made it so hard to get up every morning! 'Cil was very sweet to leave us snacks and water in the fridge. She is such a wonderful host! I will definitely be coming back here for my next trip to NY.
