Cynthia and Mirlet's place was fantastic! The apartment itself is located on the first floor, which was very convenient with luggage, and also located in a great neighborhood that was walking distance to plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars. It was super clean and cozy, with touches of character throughout the place with various paintings and pictures. Fresh towels and sheets were provided, the shower was great, and the bed was super comfortable. Unlike most airbnb's I've stayed at in Astoria, they had cable television so it was nice to catch a movie when I got back at night. They mentioned the noise of the train in the listing, so do expect that. I'm used to the city, so it wasn't so bad for me, but the trains do run all day long. So if it's not something you're used to, you most definitely want to bring ear plugs to sleep, as the trains run directly outside the apartment, and are quite loud.

I didn't have to ask Cynthia any questions at all during my stay, they provide everything you could possibly need! Great communication, privacy, and hospitality, as Cynthia checked in during my stay to make sure everything was okay, and they also left chocolates and a cute note for me when I checked in. They also live directly downstairs if you need to get in touch with them. I definitely look forward to staying at Cynthia and Mirlet's place again in the future!
