Bob was very pleasant in helping us settle in, even though our late arrival awakened him(& he had to get up @ 5AM for work!). Check-in process easy. The 2 major rooms are quite spacious with a door separating them, which comes in handy when the grandpa is a snorer. Good bath/shower with forceful water & plenty of hot water for our 10 shower stay, although cold showers were more needed in hot, humid NYC. A/C in king sized bedroom worked well & was a god-sent; also, both rooms have ceiling fans. Place was well stocked with towels, toiletries, restaurant menus & amenities-cereals, peanut butter, coffee maker, coffee, half & half, crackers, etc. R & M subway a short walk away, & in 4 stops, you are at 59th & Lex. Short walk to grocery store & you pass an increasing density of (mostly) fast food ethnic eateries as you walk along the very near Broadway, especially when you get to the busy Steinway St. & to the upper & mid 30’s of B’way(short city blocks, so even 10 blocks to 35th Street is a 10 minute walk). Safe, quiet middle class neighborhood. Astoria Library is 4 short blocks away to use, as a guest, the printing service for boarding passes, etc. Good place to stay, especially for the better prices for being outside Manhattan. Would definitely stay here again.
