The location of the house is great. Astoria is a very nice neighborhood, and I felt safe on the streets (as a 24 year old girl). The hosts were really nice to me and responded fast and helped me out when I needed them to.
The place itself for me was not good, though. I hate to say it, because Frank and Charlie were so nice to me. But it was not clean(able) and it always smelled funny. I have sensitive airways, as in, my throat closes up when there is too much dust and that kind of stuff. So at night I had a lot of trouble with that, because the window in the back bedroom doesn't open. But the other bedroom was way hotter, so I couldn't sleep there either. I ended up sleeping on the couch a lot, which is not great. The ceiling is very low, which was annoying for me (I'm 1.74m). It was really, really hot when I came and there is no air-conditioning, which I knew!! I thought I could handle the heat without, but I couldn't.
So overall, I really like the neighborhood and the hosts, but I won't stay here again, if I would come back to NY.
