Yiota's place was perfect for what we were looking for. Close to my brother, easily walkable to other places in Astoria, close to the Subway, and clean. Indeed, the apartment does rattle a bit as the trains go by, but you get used to it. If I was doing it for more than 2 nights or spending more time there, I'd reconsider. We had no trouble with the heat, although we did use the space heaters to warm it up some. Don't forget to bring your own toiletries, including shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, as they were not provided. Overall, since we were really only sleeping and showering here, it worked out just like a hotel room; I just wouldn't recommend it for light sleepers.
