Vadim, our host, he was an outstanding host. I don't even know where to begin. He was a very warm host who gave me and my 4 girlfriends a tour of the apartment and the apartment building. The apartment is very spacious, even for 5 girls to share for 3 to 5 days. He had even bought a few grocery items for us to eat. Which was amazing. Vadim was so kind enough to share the local restaurants and stores around Astoria. If I ever needed anything he was very attentive and got back to me asap. It's a short 15 minute ride to Manhattan. The subway was a quarter mile walk. Which took about 12-15 minutes. Everything was so close by. The most important thing about this Beautiful Astoria Apartment is how safe my girlfriends and I felt. Uber rides were very reasonable and cheap. Especially if you're splitting with friends. I would recommend this airbnb to any of my friends when visiting NYC. I can't wait to go back and stay at this beautiful airbnb again. Thank you Vadim for being an amazing host. My girlfriends and I felt very comfortable at your airbnb and we would like to thank you for being an amazing host!
