Astoria is an absolute dream to stay in. If you are a city dweller the commute into manhattan from Astoria is a piece of cake. Food, coffee, booze, and diversity lives in Astoria. This apartment was absolutely clutter free, minimal, but perfect for the stay. Windows, clean environment and friendly, understanding and not awkward at all- hosts! I loved staying here because the check in process was so smooth. I’ve AIRBNB’d in the past so it was business as usual when usual is easy. There’s a coffee shop next door that I love very much. Internet and tv worked. An umbrella which I did use because it was raining. If you are not into walking up the stairs - you might not like it but it’s not a big deal. It’s a 3rd floor and I would stay here all over again. Thanks George and Diana.
