Carol was so fantastic! She made me feel so welcome throughout my stay. She took the time to drive me through Astoria not only so I could pick up my metro pass for the week, but also to help orient me to the area. She then dropped me off in Astoria park at my request, a short walk from her warm home and from all the wonderful restaurants and little shops the community has to offer, where I was perfectly comfortable exploring on my own. This stay was everything I needed it to be! The room was also cozy, I slept very well in the day bed, which is just as it is pictured, and also has a window AC unit in case you get warm. I absolutely would stay with Carol again and wish I could stay with her the last day of my trip but unfortunately she's all booked up!
