Exemplary Hosts

One of the risks of staying in accommodation with the owner on-site is the relationship with the owner during a guest’s stay. In this particular case, however, Gladys and Bob could not have been better: available but not intrusive in any way, offers of free chicken soup, answering queries, putting right small problems (there were no big ones) etc. In spite of its proximity to Manhattan (4 stops on M or R lines), the immediate area was very quiet and offered a refreshing respite from the noise and crowds of Manhattan; let’s face it, wherever you stay, you’re going to have to travel, so why not Astoria? We were more than happy to eat out locally each night as there was plenty of choice within walking distance.

I do not hesitate to recommend this apartment.
