This is a cozy basement apartment in a great location in Astoria, right near the subway and food shopping, and a short walk to all the restaurants and night life. The neighborhood is residential and very safe, which was great since I often walked back to the apartment alone at night. The hosts thoughtfully provided breakfast items, which saved me a shopping trip on my first day and was very helpful. The bed is very comfortable and there is lots of room to unpack and store clothes etc. This apartment is an excellent value, and the hosts were very easy and pleasant to deal with.
