It was a great trip. Paulo was a great host. We flew during his work hours but he foud a way to leave us keys so we can dump our suitcase at his place. Greatly appreciated. Paulo keeps his place nice and clean. Room is cozy with comfortable bed and tv. Location is absolutely awesome. Bus M60 from LaGuardia took us 17 minutes. Subway train N and Q (20 min to Manhattan) also bus stop is 5 min walk from the apartment. Grocery store, pharmacy, Starbucks, restaurants, taco food truck (be careful with the spicy sauce) 5 min walk. We had everything we need in a close range in quiet Astoria after all day in overpopulated, noisy Manhattan.
I highly recommend his place.
