I didn't meet DeLex, but they were very communicative via text.
DeLex's space is a beautiful, homey apartment in Astoria. There's a great mix of art all over the walls that really caught my eye. My room was very comfortable--clean and it looked just like the pictures show. It was unseasonably cold while I was staying there and having a space heater in the room was a big help.
Great and affordable restaurants are only a few blocks away-- Mexican, Japanese, American comfort food, it's all there. And the train (N/W) is a close walk. The neighborhood is lively-- lots of people out and about, including young families.
