My partner and I stayed for 3 nights at Martin's place in Astoria. We can highly recommend it! It's in an excellent location with a subway stop, organic shop, and general grocery store all within 30 seconds of leaving the front door. Martin is a great host and all of our communication with him prior and during our stay was swift, clear and helpful. Uber to to JFK was about $35 and took around 30 minutes. All in all exactly what we were looking for in NY.
