Cool location - quiet street in lively Astoria neighborhood. House is beautiful and I definitely get that New York vibe from there. Interactions with other guests almost none, full privacy. Lolita was very welcoming and responsive from booking until the end of my stay. The only thing is th summer it really gets hot and dry in the room, although it has a loud air conditioner which I preferred to to turn off at night, because of the sound. So maybe not for people with nasal/breathing isssues. But who comes to New York to stay at house? Overall very good experience, worth recommendation.
