Excellent location: 3 minutes to train station, 20 minutes train to midtown & connections. Very friendly neighborhood: quiet and with everything you need at hand. Cute loft: cozy, clean, very well heated in winter, with first rate kitchen utensils. And Jaymes: a very nice person, and helpful whenever you need directions. It IS Best of Astoria: you couldn't get anything better for this price. I highly recommend this place: I'd stay there if I came back, and will recommend it to any friend looking for something of this kind.
