Maria's apartment is right in the heart of Astoria, just a block from the Astoria Ditmars train. Her place is nice, and roomy; large for NY apartments. I ended up having the entire apartment to myself, since Maria and her roommate were both gone. Nice place to relax during the day, and comfortable sleeping.
I did not get to meet Maria, but her brother welcomed me to the apartment, and Maria was always available by text. She checked in often. Nice value in Astoria.
