Danielle's place is located in a quiet, low-key part of Astoria that felt like a refuge from the tourists and mayhem elsewhere in the city. When my friend and I stayed there, we were attending a multi-day event in Manhattan so we didn't get a chance to explore much of the neighborhood, but I wished we had. It seemed so much more charming and hospitable than the places we were in some of the other boroughs. We were very comfortable in Danielle's clean, quiet apartment.
