Michelle's place is in a great neighborhood! Had some of the best food I've ever had just around the corner. It's a bit of a commute into the heart of NYC. Once you leave for the day, and venture into the city, you won't be back until night, it's just too far. We were there on a pretty hot weekend and it was pretty warm in the place. There were fans and a window A/C unit but it was close to being uncomfortably warm the first night until we were able to get it cooled down by leaving the unit on for a long while. I would stay here again (not in summer, however) but would make my trip less NYC-centric and explore Astoria/Queens more.
