Karen's place was just what me and my bf needed. It is about 2.5 blocks from the NW trains and is in a great location in Astoria (residential but with a mix of great bars and restaurants. The space was very clean as well. Please note that there is no living room but a good sized bedroom and kitchen with all the necessities. Since it was cold, a heater was necessary and because the main one was not working (which Karen fixed the same day) she provided us with a plug in one that did just the job. Would stay here again, if needed, and highly recommend!
