The location is great for those who don't want to stay in Manhattan but still want to have a quick access to all the main sights. The subway is in about 5-minute walk (N and W) and R a bit further.
The neighbourhood has several restaurants and bars, and a close-by Bravo supermarket is convenient. Don't miss Bareburger in Astoria.
The apartment was quite perfect for our party of three. The bathroom was a bit small and oldish, but good enough. Beds were comfortable and the only thing disturbing the sleep was the sound of traffic from the street. Bring earplugs!
Check-in was smooth and all in all Ali was super fast in replying. We had a minor problem and he took care of it immediately.
We'd definitely go back!
