The appartment we stayed in was an awesome location, a 5 minute walk to the NY Ferry which is very affordable and a great way to see New York and travel to Manhattan, Long Island, Wall Street and beyond.
The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The appartment itself was very spacious and we used the kitchen/living space everyday and was great for breakfast before hitting the city.
There is a really good gym in the building which we also used. The security guys that worked in the building were warm, helpful and friendly.
The subway is a half an hour walk away which is fine, but we used the ferry mostly.
Vadim left us some food in the fridge which was perfect for breakfast and hugely appreciated.
There is an awesome view of New York City from the appartment balcony.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Vadim’s appartment in Astoria.
