This is a great little spot for anyone looking to experience the city properly. The apartment is located on a quiet street close to the subway (a mere 5 minute walk) and excellent restaurants and cafes as well as the super fun Museum of the Moving Image.
The apartment itself is no frills but offers everything you could need if you're going to be out and about most of the time: small but comfortable beds, a kettle, microwave and fridge as well as a cute little bathroom with a shower and towels.
It was great to be a short (about 20 minutes) subway ride away from Manhattan but also have the ability to get away from those crowds and experience a wonderful neighbourhood like Astoria.
Silvia is a great host. She was very quick to respond to any questions and provide directions. She also thoughtfully provided a subway map which we used to plan out our travel routes each morning. Thanks for a great stay!
