Our family had a wonderful stay in Astoria! Russell helped provide a comfortable oasis to return to after venturing into Manhattan each day. We utilized his detailed binder of eateries and shopping and enjoyed the best local Italian and Greek food! The neighborhood felt very safe to walk around with lots of mass transit options (subway, bus, and even the ferry). Another plus is the close proximity to LaGuardia airport. Our family loved the amenities, urban sleek decor, and special touches. Definitely a memorable NYC vacation!!!
