Sylvia’s place is quiet clean & central to anywhere you want to visit in nyc. Astoria is a great place to stay, close to Manhattan on the subway, which is a short walk away. also Astoria has many great ethnic restaurants & cafes so you don’t have to go far for good tasty food. Sylvia is a great host happy to help wherever she can. I will definitely stay here again if I make it back to nyc.
