Raffaella’s place is a super comfortable basement apartment very conveniently located in the heart of Astoria. As other reviewers have noted, the bathroom is tiny, but as a 5’1 person it wasn’t a problem for me! It’s a quiet street with a lot of privacy and it automatically lights up after dark which is also very handy. There is also temperature control if you need things to be a little cooler or warmer, which is great.
In terms of getting there, it’s only a seven minute walk from Astoria Boulevard and the entry instructions are super clear. (It is also really easy to get there from LGA on the q48 and then q19 bus). If you’re looking for a place to stay in Queens, I highly recommend!
