Yiota and her cousin were so easy to communicate with. The place looks exactly as it does in the pictures and the description is absolutely right - this gem is all about LOCATION. Just 4 stops to NYC, close to many of Astoria's coffeeshops and quaint eateries, and a quick walk to the subway station. Doesn't get more convenient than that. The bathroom is a little awkward because it's elevated in some parts and it opens to the backyard (so you have to literally go through the bathroom if you want to go outside). I'd recommend this place for a solo traveler on a budget staying 3-4 nights. Especially if you want to live close to the city without having to pay Manhattan rates.
