Melissa was a great host! The apartment is as pictured! Astoria is such a cute neighborhood, and the recommendations for food that Melissa gives are spot on!
We stayed while in town for Electric Zoo. it was a good location to get too and from Randall's island! You can walk the RFK bridge to the island, about 50 minutes. Wear comfy shoes!
The apartment itself was clean and well appointed. we felt safe our entire stay, and it was easy to get in and out of the place.
Parking can be tricky depending on the time of day, but we were able to park for free about a block away for the three night stay on the street.
Overall good spot for to stay if you are going to a festival on Randall's Island. Thank you Melissa!
