This was my first Airbnb experience. Thanks to Vadim, it will not be my last. Vadim's apartment is in a modern and secure building located in a lovely Astoria neighborhood. The apartment has one bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The sofa pulls out into a bed and is also very comfortable. Vadim is a very thoughtful host. He stocked the refrigerator with milk, eggs, butter, orange juice, cheese and bread. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. There is a coffee maker (coffee provided) along with an electric teakettle. Lovely hardwood floors; a large slider onto the balcony provided us with great views of the city. Vadim provided us with a list of local restaurants and WiFi access. Although parking is a challenge, we were able to get a spot directly in front of the building. We used Uber to travel to and from the city which took about 20 minutes. I personally recommend a Greek restaurant (can't recall the name) and the Bel Air Diner for meals. Both give you great food, large portions and free dessert! We felt safe walking in the neighborhood in the evening. I can't say enough good things about Vadim as a host. His apartment felt like home and he checked in with us during our visit to make sure all was well. When I come back to NYC, I will definitely use Vadim as a host. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
