You cannot go wrong with this Airbnb! This was my second stay, with my first being in the middle of winter and during COVID. I already liked Astoria from that first visit, but coming back in the summer, this neighborhood was so full of life! You are steps away from Ditmars Blvd which has dozens of options for dining. Coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and bars are all within reach. There is plenty going on without it being super crazy like Manhattan. Astoria park is also close by and offers stunning views of the city. I recommend checking out the NYC Parks website for anything going on as we just missed out on a Johnny Cash cover band one night. The place is also a short walk to last stop on the (N) and (W) lines offering a short ride into the city. And because it's the last/first stop on the line, you'll always have a seat on the train. As for the apartment itself, it's got everything you need. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is large with two sinks and great water pressure in the shower. The living room and kitchen are open with a TV and plenty of seating. The kitchen is updated with everything you need. Check in was a breeze and the host, Ryan, is responsive and helpful. Street parking is free, but it can be a task to find a spot, especially depending when you arrive. Make note of weekly street sweeping times and days. I recommend this place to anyone looking. Definitely won't regret it!
