Sheena is a perfect host, very welcoming and responsive if you like but as well she gives you the privacy you like. The Astoria and Long Island City neighborhoods are very lively and great places to discover. The app itself is situated on a lively corner to 30th av where you have grocery, foodstore, restaurants, bars, fruitstore right around. The N and Q lines are just two blocks away and the R is about 10 min walk at Steinway. Very good connection so to Manhatten, Brooklyn and "the rest" of Queens. The app is in an old building and has its quirks but is done up in a very nice and lovingly way. Sheena really takes care of everything. It is clean, kitchen is well equipped, room itself is elementary furnished. The sofa might be too narrow for two persons but for one it is perfectly right. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to come back.
