We had a lovely stay in Astoria at Dayne's apartment for four nights. The beds were extremely comfortable and the shower was great! There are many restaurants and grocery stores within a few blocks of the apartment, in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The subway was close by, and another line within about a 15 minute walk, though it did take some time to get to lower Manhattan. Dayne was extremely attentive and responded within minutes whenever we sent her a message.
