I can’t say enough about Jay as a host and the comfort and cleanliness of this apartment. It is a lovely place that is well-stocked with basic amenities (not to be underestimated...I had to buy my own toilet paper at the last place I stayed).
It is blocks from Astoria park, which has a great running path along the river and stunning views of Manhattan.
Check in/check out was simple and Jay is extraordinarily responsive and goes above and beyond. On night, the neighbors were being loud at 2am and, in addition to calling the landlord, Jay personally drove over to tell them to quiet down! I’ve stayed in at least 50 places through Airbnb and VRBO and never had an owner be so thoughtful.
The apartment is walking distance to all kinds of restaurants and amenities, and around the corner from a bus stop. Highly recommended!
