Stacey's place was fantastic. The apartment was a good size for two people, and the location was perfect for either hanging in Astoria or heading into Manhattan. There was a mini-fridge, microwave, and toaster, which was enough for some breakfast prep.
It is the city, and we could hear the footsteps above us. I didn't find it disturbing, but if you are a light sleeper or easily startled, it may not work out. All in all, I would definitely recommend this stay!
