We have had a great time at Mayra's place! The apt is located 10 minutes by walk from Astoria Ditmars blvd subway station, that makes very easy moving around NYC (it takes around 20 minutes to get to midtown Manhattan). The neighborhood is very quiet and nice, you feel very safe even at nighttime. You can find anything you need nearby, supermarkets, restaurants, laundries and bars. The place was very clean and cozy, with a giant TV and a very comfortable bed. Having a full equipped kitchen has been very helpful not to spend much money eating out. Mayra has been very kind and helpful, asking us if we needed to get towels or linen changed during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying at Mayra's place!!
