The apartment was exactly as pictured. The couch and bed were very comfortable and we really enjoyed the shower. Location was perfect. We could walk to the subway easily, as well as a beer garden and delicious restaurants. Astoria Park is beautiful and offers a lovely view of the city. While the apartment is in the second floor of the home, we never saw the owner except for the first day, which was nice. The apartment was very private and temperature always comfortable. I would recommend this place to my friends.
