Valentina is a great hostess. She is quick in her responses, accommodating and clear. Her apartment is homely and has a warmth to it (I'm not talking about temperature). It is, as the description reads, cozy and bright :) I felt at home and very comfortable in her apartment and I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is extremely convenient; close to the subway station, restaurants and bars, and it's a beautiful, charming and sweet neighborhood - Astoria has great people like Valentina herself. She has exceptional interior taste and I definitely recommend her place. It has everything you could ask for and I would go here again :)
