Perfect base for NYC adventures!
Eduardo’s loft (which for British people would be described as a basement) is a perfect base for exploring both Manhattan which is easily reachable in just over 20 minutes and Astoria, a fantastic local neighbourhood.
The apartment is generously equipped with everything you could need (including coffee filters, a great shower, towels, Wi-Fi and Netflix.
As it’s a basement flat without openable windows (don’t worry, it has excellent air con and fans) it is more of a home to come back to after a day of sightseeing than somewhere to hang during the day, but that isn’t what most people come to New York for?
It’s perfect for travel into the city and you can reach Grand Central Park, Time Square or head further south to Greenwich Village, Ground Zero or the Staten Island Ferry in under half an hour.
If you are into film history the Museum Of Moving Image is a 25 min walk away (check opening times - Thursday is also free entry). There are great diners (try Neptune, Mike’s or Bel Air), Greek Restaurants (Gregory’s highly recommended for a non-touristy proper traditional meal - you might even meet Gregory himself), Astoria’s free outdoor swimming pool and a super view of the NY skyline from the bridge.
Eduardo was very easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful and check-in was a breeze with the key left in a combination box.
Uber from JFK takes about 24 mins.
Ceilings high enough for my 6’3” partner to feel very comfortable.
All in all a super place, well priced, excellently located. Two happy guests.
