Our host was exceptionally kind and considerate, friendly and confident. Our space was immaculate and very comfortable as well as roomy. An ironing board was provided as well as a hair dryer in our room. There was plenty of room for spreading out all of our stuff for several days of stay. We would have been very comfortable staying for a week or two as the neighborhood was so close to fabulous restuarants and coffee shops as well as the subway stations...and of course Uber goes everywhere. You have your own private entrance. I could tell that the use of the apartments other rooms would be wonderful if you planned on cooking your own food. We will definitely go back when we are visitng family in Astoria. Rosa made us feel like family.
