We liked Gladys and Bob's place because of the location. My friend and I had driven in from New England and were able to park behind their house. The driveway is very narrow, but Bob helped us get the car in. Public transit is around the corner, and we used that for the remainder of our stay. Restaurants and shops are nearby. We enjoyed exploring Astoria one day and heading into Manhattan on the other days. The king size bed in the apartment has a very good mattress; the sleigh bed's mattress is a bit soft. There are many convenient features in the apartment, as described in the listing. Shelving and a clothing rack were provided, as were some tourist brochures and local menus, water, tissues, etc. The place was spacious, but had a cozy feel to it. Gladys and Bob were friendly and helpful.
