It's hard to beat the convenience to the subway or being near local gems. This location really puts the best of Astoria, and NYC, at your fingertips. Joanne is a responsive and friendly host and accessing the place was a breeze. One thing to note is that the mattress in the main bedroom is a firm futon, so if you need a more traditional mattress, that's something to know. Additionally, the place is right by the subway and it is quite loud if that's not something you're used to. I strugged with it, but popped down to the drug store for earplugs and it was fine. The kitchen and bathroom are well-supplied and clean and it's easy to use.
