The apartment is in a great location. A short 7 minute walk to the subway and a quick 10 to 15 min subway ride and your in middle of time square. Apartment is a good size but a bit cramped for 6 adults. But can be done. The hosts were great. There to greet us and answer any questions pretty fast. Astoria is a good little city. Area seemed safe day and night. Never felt like it wasn’t. Nice quiet part of town with many shops and places to eat.
