Sonia's place was amazing. Very clean and cosy apartment. I didn't get to meet Sonia, but I met with her sweet friend Patricia who made me feel welcome when I arrived. Sonia was always available on the phone, she was a great host. The area (Astoria) is AMAZING. Everything is close by, people are VERY friendly, it's safe area and it takes 15 minutes to get to Manhattan. I really loved staying here and I recommend it.
