If you looking for a nice quiet peaceful yet adventurous time in Queens New York especially Astoria I would more than recommend Athena and Alex, there are delis and supermarkets all around as well as a park across the street for kids and people of all ages, there is a subway not too far from Astoria as well as Citi bike stations all over the city and neighborhood. The neighborhood was very friendly and very welcoming, The house itself was amazing the kitchen was spacious and modern the bathrooms were more than stellar the showerhead in the first bathroom was beyond amazing, The TV had everything from cable to streaming services like Netflix Hulu HBO and YouTube, overall the whole house was clean 10 out of 10 and I would recommend this to anybody coming to New York queens in Astoria especially.
