I don’t even know where to begin...... Dana’s apartment is AMAZING.
APARTMENT: It’s huge. I’ve had nice Airbnb’s before but always just a little cramped. There was a beautiful amount of space. Also, just aesthically, the arches and crown molding was just very pleasing.
LOCATION: Only a few short blocks to Steinway street where there’s food, nightlife, shopping. The first things you’ll find when you get to Steinway street is a train station (10 minutes to Manhattan), Rite Aid, and Mahmoud’s Corner - food truck boasting the best falafel, and my favorite, the chicken kabobs.
AMENITIES: I didn’t feel wanting for anything thing. Plenty of towels out for me with a door noted so I knew where to find more. Bathroom had a super fancy shower, water pressure was perfect. Kitchen had filtered water faucet, nice touch (although NYC tap water is the best in the world ;-) ). WiFi was super fast. Couch was so comfy, so was the bed and bedding. Really great lounging and sleeping.
CHECK IN/GENERAL: No one has ever written better check in instructions. Dana thinks of everything. I had step by step breakdown with pictures to find and use the smart lock. Similarly thorough instructions for WiFi and how to use the tv. Helpful notes throughout the home.
As long as you don’t have a problem with stairs (3 flights - not so bad really), I emphatically recommend Dana’s home for your next Astoria stay. Truly wonderful, homey stay, near everything. Oh and did I mention, this apartment is HUGE. :-)
