We did not met Delex who were in Spain. But we met her parents who were very nice and also the dog stayed in the apartment at the beginning of the stay until we mentioned that there might be some kind of smells in the appartement. Deluxe immediately contacted her dad to have the apartment cleaned + we did not see the dog anymore. To help one of my friend, I asked last minute if we could use the bed in the leaving room and Delex was very kind to accept vs a 50 USD a night. However, my friend in the end did not stayed in the apartment at all and Delex kept 100 USD over the 250 I guess for the cleaning fees.
The metro was close from the appartemnt and there is some good restaurants. The nails salon in Astoria are much cheaper than in the city. Also if you have asthma, I would not recommend this place because at the beginning I has some kind of issue breathing but once the apartment was clean everything was good.
One last think I'd like to mention is that the pictures are a bit different from the add to the reality. I would say that when we arrived there was a bike on the leaving room, a big dog bed cushion in front of the TV etc.... But the price is very good for New York in the end.
