We were in New York city for a vacation and we had a great stay at Ryan's place in Astoria. Everything was as described, the this is an ideal location to visit or the city for leisure or even business, only a few subway stops from Manhattan, many trains at any time of the day or night, the Astoria Ditmar subway station is less than 10 minutes walk, this part of the city is very safe, and there are many stores, coffee shops, restaurants in the area. We never met Ryan as we were busy in the city and Ryan was already away when we left in the morning, but he was very responsive and assisted us by replying almost instantly to our requests via Airbnb messaging. The place is clean, well furnished, perfect for 2 couples or a family of 4. We highly recommend Ryan's place.
