I looked for a place specifically in Astoria which was important for my visit in NYC and Ryan's place hit all the right notes! Ryan's place is in a beautiful and safe neighborhood located half a block from access to restaurants, coffee shops, banks, and many other types of important stores and ameneties. The N train is a short walk away which provides easy access to Manhattan and the many other places that make up New York. Astoria park is a comfortable distance away allowing one access to its wonderful picnic areas and seawall. Laguardia Airport is also really close by.
Ryan's place is clean, spacious, and comfortable. A full kitchen, laundry, and bathroom were at my disposal along with comfortable furniture to relax after a long day out. Air conditioning made my stay comfortable during a more warmer day and my sleep extremely restful. Access to Wi-Fi helped me keep up to date with news and plan my days throughout the city.
Ryan is an exemplary host. He communicates in a timely manner, follows up during your visit to make sure things are great, is knowledgable in the area, and knows great places to eat. Ryan kindly greeted me during check in, showed me how to access the loft, gave me a tour, a recap of the rules, an overview of the ameneties, and answered my all my questions about the loft and neighborhood.
I will happily stay at Ryan's during a future trip.
