The apartment is really spacious and the internet is great, but just understand it's a classic NYC pre-war building (read: very old), so temper your expectations accordingly. The location is convenient to a beautiful park, and about 10 minutes to the subway with a lot of shops/restaurants along the way there. Definitely try The Coffee Pot on 23rd Ave., best coffee in Astoria. Radu is quick to respond and has friends in the area who can help out as needed.
