Cem's apartment is a great location - a minute from Broadway subway station and yet quiet, and he is a friendly, intellectual host. That sid, I thought the hygiene level could've been higher given the $100 cleaning fee. Also, the host actually lives in the living room surrounded by a Japanese screen divider. Perhaps this is temporary, but not transparent in the room description. Overall, a fine stay - and this is why I love airbnb in Astoria.
