Spacious room with private bath - both were spotlessly clean, the kitchen of the flat as well. Good wi-fi. Smith's descriptions of the location and check-in procedures were accurate and he was always quick to respond by text if I had any additional questions. Or he showed up minutes later and solved some minor problem with the lock immediately!
I liked the location very much, very close to the N train, buses and even the ferry towards Wall Street. Astoria offers many restaurants, a good grocery store is right around the corner.
Please note: The apartment is on the fourth floor (no elevator) and you'll be living with three friendly and quiet young(er) guys. Both facts did not bother me, but maybe some single female would feel different.
