Hasibur is a kind soul and really nice to talk to.
I talked to him before our arrival and he let us drop our bags early to go explore.
The room is small, but that didn’t matter to us. His place is in a perfect location if you are planning on making lots of trips to Manhattan (it’s 3-4 stops away from Central Park using the M or R trains).
There are lots of places to eat in Astoria, as well corner stores and a dollar general if you are on a budget and need to buy groceries.
