You will be staying in Astoria, its half the price of a new york hotel but with that comes some compromises. You have to get the subway into manhattan which takes around 10-15 minutes but it is literally around the corner from you. This is a shared house there is one bathroom so you will have to wait your turn and this is not a power shower. The bathroom is well used and dusty In places but given there are 4 doors off the main area there is a lot of bathroom use. Ana was amazing at giving us tips and advice and we had the best pizza from retro pizza up the road. Given the money we saved that we then used around new york it was a great stay. I would highly recommend.
