We had a wonderful stay with Alexi and Dennis, we couldn't ask for nicer hosts and now good friends as well! Alexi and Dennis made us feel welcome and were super friendly and helpful with places to eat and see. We left each morning to sightsee to NYC, the subway station is only 3-4 blocks away and we bought the unlimited one week Metro pass which allowed us to use the subway as much as we wanted. There are nice eating places in Astoria and we felt right at home and could come back anytime. We couldn't ask for a better vacation staying and getting to know Alexi and Dennis.
