Stayed 4 nights and the location was ideal for our visit - Subway within a few minutes easy walk, A1 Deli just over the road for breakfast and sandwiches to go. Choice of restaurants close by - Indian and Columbian both very good.
For transportation we used Zita Luxury Taxi for all our Airport tfrs -excellent and based in Astoria.
It was a shame we did not meet our hosts but we really enjoyed our stay. Sept 2013
