We really enjoyed our stay at Yiota's place! The location was great, it was a close walk to the subway and the neighbourhood of Astoria was lovely too, plenty of places to eat and drink! Although we didn't meet Yiota or her cousin, the check in process was really easy and communication was quick too. The apartment was clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable too- it was a great base for us as we explored NYC by day! The subway beside the apartment could be heard, but that didn't annoy us. As mentioned in a previous comment this apartment does have a small ant problem- they could easily get in the back door. Aside from this we had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying here!!
