I arrived at Rob & Nancy's place around 9:30 pm on a Sunday, later than I had originally said, and Rob greeted me warmly and showed me around. I stayed for 6 weeks, and despite having to attend to a difficult family matter, Rob & Nancy remained gracious and attentive throughout my stay.
The place itself is great; very modern, well-stocked, plenty of light and radiant floor heat too! The location is good, a very quiet street close to the center of Ditmars and the subway. I've spent a lot of time in the area, and I agree with Rob & Nancy that there are many cuisines, shopping, grocery and entertainment options.
Rob & Nancy's place will be the first listing that I check when I need to visit Astoria again.
