Astoria is a great place to stay especially if you visit NYC for the first time (it was my 4th time staying in Astoria). Tarlok's place is great - very close to everything you can imagine.
Very easy to check in, all the instructions are clear. There will be a few other airbnb guests on the same floor, so sometimes you have to wait to use the bathroom. The place is really clean and taken care of. During the day hot water sometimes runs out and I heard that one guest was taking almost a cold shower. Thanks god it wasn't me!
We were very lucky to have our own air conditioning system in our room so we were able to set comfortable room temeperature by ourselves.
Tarlok shares milk, sugar, cereal, coffee, which is great since we use milk everyday.
