Dragan was a great host. A really nice guy. The appartment was nice and clean and had recently been painted. It's located a couple of minutes away from the subway station and it only takes around 15 minutes to get to times square. The Astoria area is safe and has a nice chilled out vibe. There are plenty of cool bars and restaurants within walking distance of the appartment and prices are much cheaper than Manhattan. Definitely worth having some nights out in Astoria.
