This little spot was the perfect location to be super accessible to the subway that takes you straight in to mid-town...but far away enough that you aren't hearing city noises all night! You can definitely hear the subway rumbling below, but it was soothing and lovely for us! Great recommendations on spots to grab a bite and the host was super responsive and helpful.
If you are as uniformed as I was, just know that a garden apartment means you are at the basement level with an outdoor space...but we were so busy sleeping and taking in the sights, we never even ventured into the backyard. Astoria/Queens is the place to stay, as far as we are concerned, and plan to stay in the area again next time we come to town!!
