The photos of Jay’s place don’t do it justice. It’s very spacious and a lovely apartment.
The neighbourhood is fantastic and there are lots of bars, restaurants, cafes etc. within walking distance. Astoria Provisions around the corner is a great breakfast/brunch spot. We also had a bagel at Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee - wow it was amazing. Break Bar and Billiards was also great with free pool during happy hour.
The Astoria Boulevard subway station is closed until December 2019 but the N and W train run from 30 Avenue which is a 15 minute walk away.
The apartment itself was great for us as we were out most days seeing the city. For the price paid it was fantastic. Good shower, comfy bed, lots of of fresh towels and even Netflix on a huge widescreen tv. The only things I would criticise (and I am being picky) would be the bed slightly creeks and the bedroom could do with a lamp - so not very much at all! Jay’s place was great and I would recommend it. Jay popped by one evening and he is a lovely guy.
