Stacey's apartment is situated in a perfect location for exploring the city, and also if you want to get away from the crowds. Astoria is only a 15 minute subway ride on the mainline to NYC, making it extremely easy to get around. It also has lots of nice restaurants and bars which were recommended to us by Stacey.
It is worth noting that the closest subway station to the apartment (Broadway) is currently closed due to construction works. However, this wasn't much of an issue as the next stop is only 10 minutes walking distance.
The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was great. We were warned beforehand that there may be noise from neighbours, but we didn't hear a thing.
Stacey responded quickly to any questions that we had and was very accommodating on our final day when we asked if we could leave our luggage at the apartment, so that we could spend our final day in the city before travelling to the airport.
Overall, it is a great place to stay, would recommend it to anyone and if we ever went back to New York would certainly consider staying here again.
Thank you for a great stay.
