Johan’s place was a great budget stay in Astoria, Queens, NY. While there is no laundry and dishwasher, the place is great for a quick city getaway. There is a kitchen with the basic cooking supplies, a small sink, coffee maker, and microwave.
It is basically a bungalow...one stand alone house with one bedroom, everything on one level. It is not adjacent to neighbors and there are no apartments above or below, just one floor and windows all around with one entrance/exit.
All the doors are sliding: kitchen to bedroom door, bathroom door, and shower door. It is a great small place for a couple but it doesn’t offer privacy if there are many people since the bathroom is next to the bedroom.
I liked how the bedroom was pretty spacious with a pullout couch and tv. The living room was organized and had an open floor plan to the kitchen. What’s also great is the ability to control the temperature and I made it lower during the night.
Checkin process was so easy because of a four digit door code and there is only one half step to get into the house. No need to carry heavy belongings up or down since everything is on one floor.
It is a good stay if you are here for a few days visiting NYC. There is a large map to get to Manhattan and umbrellas in case it rains. The parking situation is okay, you would drive around for 5-10 minutes to find free street parking within 2 blocks. The MTA subway is a 15 minute walk.
