Pluses and minutes: The location of this Airbnb was great for us, and convenient to Manhattan. It’s in a great, walkable Astoria neighborhood with tons of shops and restaurants, very safe and friendly. It was a short walk away from the apartment of the people we were visiting, and only four blocks to the N and W trains, which provide a quick ride into midtown. It took a while, but we found free street parking. Astoria Park is close by, as well. The cost of the room seemed like a good value, too, considering the NYC market. Self check-in access was easy with one code on the front door and a second code on the individual room door. The building is a two-story detached house, with steps up to the front door, and the room is with three others upstairs, not accessible to people with mobility disabilities (that was not an issue for us). The bathroom is small and shared among, it appeared, four rooms, but we didn’t have much trouble with access to it during out stay. The place was clean, but I have to say, a little shabbier feeling than it looks in the photos. The room was a decent size with a bay window, making it light during the day. There was one table lamp in the room which worked but was unplugged, I think because its switch was a little iffy, and the overhead light was a chandelier type with only one working lightbulb, so the room was fairly dim at night. Radiator heat was so plentiful that we left the windows very slightly open at night to be comfortable. On our last day, we turned to radiator all the way down during the day so the room would not be stifling when we returned, and when we turned it back on that evening before bed, something that looked like an overflow valve began spitting water out and onto the floor, and didn’t stop. We had to turn the radiator off to prevent a water problem, which made for a chilly next morning. I messaged the owner about the problem early in the morning before we left and didn’t receive a reply, so I don’t know how the problem was resolved. I had a couple of messages back and forth with the owner at the time I booked the room, a few weeks beforehand, but no communication during our stay and did not see the owner at the house. It was Thanksgiving weekend, so perhaps the owner wasn’t there at the time? I don’t know.
