Jorge was an excellent host in terms of communications - he answered questions very quickly! He also let us store our bags since our flight was late after check-out.
As others have said and as the listing warns, it is very loud at night on a busy street. If you're not interested in staying out until 3-4am to wait once it quiets down, you should look elsewhere. I hosted an airbnb around the corner on a quieter street for many years that didn't have that problem. However, if you use earplugs and a noise machine, you can sleep through it hopefully and if you're into participating in "the city that never sleeps" there's plenty to do in this neighborhood.
Otherwise the apartment was clean and comfortable. Great location in terms of walking to the subway, everything you need (pharmacy, grocery, ATM, coffee, restaurants and bars). Astoria is a fantastic piece of NY, and Manhattan was easy to get to. I appreciated that Jorge was an attentive host.
