This place is perfect place to experience a NY neighborhood with all its charm, hustle, bustle and diversity. It is close to the subway. The apt is as advertised. It is very clean, will equipped with what you need (utensils, stove, refrig, microwave, room air conditioners.) You can get stock up with food items for any meal at two within walking distance grocery stores (we got snacks, and breakfast items) Modern and very clean bathroom. Smartly decorated place. The neighborhood is quiet at night. There are app based bicycles (Citibikes) a few blocks away to help you get around. Ubers and Lyfts were responsive and all but one were better drivers and more knowledgeable about the city than the cabbies. I would highly recommend the NY Ferry service from Astoria dock into Manhattan or Brooklyn especially when its hot and steamy in the subway. The ferry ride is about $3 US currency and there is beer and wine for purchase on the way. You cannot go wrong unless you one who is used to room service.
