The location is great. Probably 300-400 feet from a subway stop for the R and M train. It was quick and easy to get into Manhattan. The neighborhood is nice and safe, several grocery shops, pharmacy, restaurants all within a short walking distance. The home is in the Astoria area. We felt very safe walking around even late at night. The owners had snacks in the kitchen area, bottles of water in the refrigerator, maps and flyers for things to do. The bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner worked well. A perfect place to stay and visit NYC.
