Astoria is my place to stay anytime I’m in NYC. Manhattan is a short train ride away, and the train stop is a short 5 minute walk from the Air Bnb! On that 5 minute walk you also pass tons of amazing food, drinks, coffee, etc.! There’s so much to eat and do just in the area alone.
As for the space, it was way bigger than expected! It was clean, cozy, with an extremely comfortable bed. Wound up so nice we just ordered food and stayed in the first night which was perfect. Can’t recommend you stay here enough for anything in NYC regardless of where you need to go.
