Marina's place is WAY better than it looks in the photos! It's a beautiful, well-equipped 4th floor apartment with a complete kitchen, spacious living room and comfortable bedroom! Note that the hardwood floors are creaky, so be mindful of the downstairs neighbor by removing your shoes when inside and walking gently. During colder months (especially if you're from a warmer place) the apartment may seem a tad chilly, even with central heating. Marina had a space heater onsite that made it quite comfortable. (I used it in the bedroom at night with the bedroom door closed!) She was very communicative and accommodating of my requests. I definitely would recommend Marina's apartment to other travelers and will do my best to stay here again any time I'm in Astoria in future!
