This place is fantastic! So is the host. My husband and I stayed there for 2 first weeks of July and had one of our best stays in NYC ever. The apartment is very nice. The veranda and the rooftop gives extra space plus a magnifiscent view over the Manhattan skyline. The nearest subway station was closed due to renovation while we were there. But the ferry from Astoria to Manhattan was only a ten minutes walk from the apartment and was a lot more fun than the subway. The host Vadim had provide food in the fridge for us when we arrived which made a very easy start of our stay. Vadim is a very friendly, and available host. So did we experience his wife. The best hosts! We really hope to get back to this wonderful place.
