I just returned from a 3-night stay at Gladys and Bob's apartment and I can happily recommend it to others. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. I found it to be clean, quiet, well-appointed and in a good location. The hosts themselves greeted me at arrival, said goodbye the night before, and left me to have plenty of privacy in between. (They are charming anyway!). Because of an unfortunate train derailment in Queens, just moments before my arrival in Manhattan, my travel plans to the apartment had to be totally adjusted. They stayed in contact with me through all of that–and also with regards to the early check-in I was asking for the previous day. I always appreciate responsive and accommodating hosts and G & B totally fit the bill on those points. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment, and Astoria, in general. I always love spending time there! Thanks, Gladys and Bob - you are a couple of peaches. :)
