This is the quintessential Airbnb experience. Great value, maybe not as comfortable as a hotel, but so much more authentic and interesting. The couch is actually really comfortable, the room is decorated in style and the place is 25-40 min by subway from most places you'd want to visit in NYC. The hosts were nice and allowed me to leave my luggage in the apt for a few hours after I checked out. I'd stay there again if I need to stay in the Astoria area.
