We had an AWESOME time staying at Yiota's place in Queens. Although we didn't get to meet Yiota personally, we interacted with Kyri multiple times and he was very helpful and accomidating. He suggested the Queens Kickshaw, and we ate lunch there on our final day and loved it! Since this was my first trip to NYC, staying in Austoria gave me the true feeling of living in the city. I would love to live there :). We took the subway everywhere and there's multiple stations nearby. We also visited the Bagel's and Brew shop just a few doors down for coffee and breakfast several times. This apartment is just a 20 minute subway ride into Manhattan and other top spots in the city. The neighborhood is very safe and there is lots to do without even leaving the neighborhood. I can assure you that our next trip to NYC will be centered around when we can book this apartment! (We plan to come back in 2014 since they are bringing Les Miserables back to Broadway!) If you are coming to NYC with the hopes of feeling like you're really living there, this is the spot to stay! We loved it that much. Thanks again Yiota and Kyri!
