Nice place to stay outside of the city. There are lots of great places to eat in Astoria and it is located right next to the Steinway subway station! We used the subway to go EVERYWHERE. We got a 7-day unlimited pass (even though we weren’t here the full 7 days), but it was so stress-free hopping on and off the Subway to go explore! Also, google maps was surprisingly accurate for navigating which train is best based on your destination.
The Airbnb felt safe, was quiet, had a good HVAC system (important since it was high 30s outside when we visited!). Hosts were easy to communicate with. Easy check in/check out. Cheap Lyft ride to the LGA airport ~$15.
