Great apartment, great neighborhood, awesome hosts! I booked the entire apartment on behalf of my parents who were going to stay a week in NYC. Living in Astoria myself, I wanted something in this neighborhood as I know it's safe. The apartment is a 5-10 minute walk from a subway station, 15 minute subway ride from Manhattan. The apartment in itself was great, quite small but it had absolutely everything you need: towels, sheets, soap, shampoo, first aid kit, etc.. Seriously impressed! There were little leaflets about NYC, maps, etc.. I also really liked that in the bedroom, there was a pinboard with emergency contact info and other useful information. I really have nothing negative to say about this apartment and my parents loved it and were impressed too. The only tiny thing was the entrance door to the building: the lock can a bit tricky to operate but this is not the hosts' fault and it got my parents to meet a few neighbors who were so helpful and nice! Now about the hosts: seriously welcoming, friendly and amazing to deal with! prior to my parents arriving in nyc, they would answer to my questions in no time, i never felt they were annoyed with any questions I asked them. I met George on the first day when my parents and I were going back to the apartment and he was so welcoming and friendly. My parents met both George and Diana and they told me several times how nice and friendly they were (and Diana also speaks French which my parents loved since their english is not so good haha). I mean, do not hesitate to book this place, you won't regret it!
