My friend and I stayed here for our first trip to NY. Roula met me right when I arrived to show me the unit. She was very helpful and friendly and was happy to give me suggestions for food and transportation. Communication with Roula was excellent! The unit was bright and clean and had everything we needed. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to the Astoria/Ditmar subway station, so that was nice. That's the end of the yellow line so I found the location to be great. The area has a few restaurants, bars and natural grocery stores within that walk. It took 15-20 mins to get Time Square. The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet. I chose to take a taxi from JFK as opposed to the subway as I was a little intimidated with taking 3 different lines with all my baggage to get there. The taxi from JFK cost anywhere from $30-40. Overall excellent experience. Thanks Roula!
