Staying at this place was an wonderful experience beyond anything I could have hoped for. I can't think of anything to complain about.
Everything you can possibly need is in walking distance from the apartment. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet - you don't need to worry about falling asleep at night, or walking down the street in safety. At the same time, all the lively streets with the shops, bars, and people are just a few minutes away. The bus stop is right across the street, and the subway is at most 10 minutes away. Astoria doesn't have much (touristic) entertainment, but it's a perfect place to live in.
The apartment itself is a piece of art. Furniture and the decorations, all of which have a story of their own, take the experience to a whole new level. The place is very organized and neat. Everything one can need is provided for, often in a variety of options. Instead of listing the endless advantages of the place, I'll just say that if you end up simply spending a day in the apartment without going out, there will be nothing to regret.
The main jewel of your stay will be the host herself, of course. Daphne managed to make me feel extremely welcomed way before I even entered the apartment. She is quick with responding to the messages, and eager to provide any help needed. She is great with respecting one's personal space, although I found myself looking forward to our encounters, as every single one of our conversations brought me great pleasure. Easy-going, smart, and funny, Daphne was absolutely the best part of the my stay.
