It's really true: Nadir's apartment is located in the lively heart of Astoria in a typical brick building of the late 19th century. Everything is available within 5 minutes walking distance: Subway, coffee, bagel, pizza, burger, trendy restaurants, glossy bars but still many small mum & pop stores. By subway you go to Fifth Av within 15 min. To the banks of East River and Roosevelt Island it’s a healthy walk of 20 min. My room was clean and tidy, the mattress suitable for a good sleep and out the window I enjoyed a nice view of the Midtown Manhattan skyline.
The booking and key transfer was easy and reliable. Nadir is a very friendly, helpful guy. He offered me the kitchen and living room for shared use and was open for a nice chat.
