A safe place (very important) and location in Astoria. We stayed with my brother 25 days.
You can use not only the subway (15 minutes walk) , but also you can use q18 bus. The bus stop is in front of the house :)
A church is near, so in christmas you can hear lovelies melodies, and in normal days the church clock giving the time. Very cute for us.
The room has enought space, also Jasmina and Ileana help us , with a plegable bed for my brother. This help us, to not sleep both in the bed, so was a plus for us.
Hot water in the bathroom and great heater , you will not pass any cold on winter.
Chacha (the cat) is very soft and very cute. She will never scratch to you, but she needs her space, so don't bother to her :)
