Jorges apartment was exactly what the pictues had shown and more. It was perfect for 3 of us; plenty of space and light plus very efficient air conditioning.
Jorge was extremely responsive before we booked, before we arrived and then while we were in his apt. He was great!!
The location of the apt was really central to main streets in astoria and this had both a positive and negative impact.
It was great to be so close to everything including the subway but it meant that we were also an unwilling participant of the late night socialising and the noise that comes with it. If we were out socialising ourselves this wouldn't have been an issue :) but we are a family with a young daughter so we suffered with the noise over the weekend. It was definitely much quieter on the week nights.
Overall I would absolutely recommend both Jorge as a host and his apartment as a place to stay.
