Staying at Marina's apartment was an excellent experience. The apartment was sparkling clean upon my arrival. It has a small but well-equipped kitchen, a snugly bed, and a comfortable living room with a desk. The personal touch makes it feel like a home immediately. I enjoyed the liveliness as well as the many different restaurants and delis of the neighborhood. Try the baklava from the store at the next corner! Besides the delis, a supermarket and a drug store are in close walking distance. The nearest subway station, Astoria Blvd, is about ten minutes to walk. Marina was very responsive and helped me resolve all of my questions quickly.
