We stayed in Vasili's apartment together with our daughter, son-in-law and two grand daughters. A loaf of home made bread and a large pie awaited us while we arrived. The apartment was spacy enough for all of us and could host even a larger group, although there was only one full bathroom. We learned from Vasili that another one will be installed shortly. All the amenities were in good shape and when we had one or two broken ones, Vasili replaced them immediately.

I must mention Vasili's great spirit - he was very helpful to get us a large taxi, he found some specialty shops for us and we really liked his approach towards the guests (us...:-).

The apartment is very very very well located in Astoria. Many shops, various restaurants, cafes etc. In the weekend it's real fun to just stroll down the main street. The Subway is 10 walking minutes away... not so bad in NY standards.

We warmly recommend the apartment and may use it again if and when we come back to New York.
