Tj`s place in Astoria was in a great location for my needs. The bedroom was exactly as pictured and clean. I would recommend you bring slippers or flipflops to wear in the house as there`s no place to put your shoes except in your room (which means you`re walking to the bathroom and kitchen by passing through spaces where people walk with their outdoor shoes). Other guests were respectful of the communal space and it was quiet at night. Tj responded to my messages within hours, otherwise I never saw or heard from him. If you prefer a more personal touch with interaction with the host then I`d look elsewhere, as this felt more like a hostel.
