This is a GREAT place for a family! We loved it and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! We had 3 adults and our 16 and 14 year old boys and had plenty of space for our week long stay. Lots of sleeping arrangements and space to not be right on top of each other. The kitchen was a little bit tight but plenty of room to cook.
It is as advertised other than the location, which is something that Airbnb does. The host communicated with us immediately about this and let us know that the house is in Astoria(AWESOME neighborhood)rather than Manhattan. The hosts were extremely responsive throughout our booking and stay. We meet them when we arrived and they were very kind and friendly. Ricardo even went to the metro station with us to make sure we were able to get everything done correctly and figure out the metro system.(side note: get the unlimited metro pass.... it's so much more economical than taxi or uber)
The house super close to the metro(as you can see in the pictures but not loud and you don't really notice it when inside)and 5 minutes from Manhattan via train.
The neighborhood is very safe and friendly. There are a ton of great places to shop and eat within a 1-3 minutes walk from the house.
Thank You Again, Mimi and Family!!! We look forward to staying with you again!!!
