We had a wonderful time at De’s apartment. De is a superb host and made sure that we had everything we needed and went out of her way to assist. The apartment is cosy, warm and homely with all mod cons and fast Wi-Fi internet. Very nice, safe area in the heart of Astoria. Close to shops and surrounded by numerous restaurants and bars, and only a couple of blocks from the subway which is 15 minutes into midtown Manhattan. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to our return. Highly recommended.
