I highly recommend Samanta’s place. My wife and I stayed in her impeccably clean Airbnb and were VERY happy with our stay. Samanta was a very gracious host, answering any requests/questions almost immediately. The neighborhood is special as well, and you may want to skip a day from (easy to get to) NYC and tool around Astoria for a day. A lot of great food and bars in this area. If you have an opportunity to get this place, do not pass it up!
