Nadine was an excellent host and her spot in Astoria is simply awesome. It's spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, and located on a very nice tree-lined block. Once you step outside and walk to the end of the block in either direction, you're surrounded by incredible restaurants, coffee shops, bars and anything else you could ask for. Plus, you've got the trains 5 minutes away so you're just a skip and a hop away from getting to Manhattan or anywhere else you need to go. As a lifelong NYer who booked this place for a group of out-of-town friends, this is really one of the best spots you can stay.
