This was the sixth time my wife and I have stayed in Astoria, and this one has been the best. (1) The place is clean and exceptionally well equipped, even though the building does not look like much from the outside, (2) the location is very good, close to many nice bars and restaurants on Ditmars Blvd, (3) our host, Rafik, was nothing short of exceptional: very responsive, flexible, and helpful. Thank you very much, and next time we come to Astoria, this will be the first place we will try to rent again :)
