Sylvia met us at the apartment when we arrived. She showed us around the apartment. She was very welcoming, upbeat, and friendly. She took time to answer our questions and made us feel at home during our stay. We found the apartment very clean, well stocked and it was in a great location. Nice linens on the bed and very comfortable. Small bathroom, but very clean with a shower that had good water pressure and a good supply of hot water. We enjoyed the Astoria / Queens neighborhood and felt safe during our stay. The apartment was just a short walk to the subway for our trips to explore Manhattan. In addition, we enjoyed exploring and dining in Astoria. For a great sandwich and salad at a reasonable price we would highly recommend Lite Bites Astoria located on Steinway Street. Thanks again to Sylvia for her hospitality, and if we return to visit the NYC area, we will definitely check to see if her apartment is available.
