We had a great stay at Michelle and Catarina's apartment! The flat in nice and clean - with all the comforts. Astoria is a good area to go around and with easy access to Manhattan from the subway R or M at the end of the road. Literally round the corner you have also a laundry, grocery, ATM and an absolute gem of a bar - Fatty's! Can definitely recommend both - the stay and live the neighborhood. Michelle received us and has been very flexible with our check in and check out times.
