Celestine is a great host and the apartment is beautiful! We spent 12 days at her place and couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything looks like in the pics. Beautifully remodelled older apartment, quiet, clean and comfortable. There are 2 separate a/c units that work great and are very quiet.
We used the kitchen quite a lot as we didn't want to spend too much money dinning out. NY is expensive everywhere! Good supermarket 2 blocks from the unit and subway about 5 blocks. We walked those blocks -from 46th and broadway-and felt safe even at 1 am. You can take the Q18- stop is 1 block from apartment- to the Astoria ferry stop, which will take you to Manhattan and Brooklyn. Astoria is an interesting neighbourhood, good Greek, Italian, Mexican, Colombian food.
Thank you so much!! Hope we can stay at your lovely apartment again soon!!
