The past reviews have been pretty accurate: the place is a stylish part of Astoria, with many hip restaurants, bars and cafes on 30th Ave, with the apartment itself being off of 30th Ave on a quieter residential street.
It can get loud in the morning since there's a pre-school nearby, but it's pretty late in the morning (I noticed the noise at around 10-11 am).
The room is huge, especially by NYC standards! I've usually seen rooms this size described as "mini studio" sized.
You're on the first floor which means 1. you don't have to go up any stairs but 2. You have to keep the blinds shut or else people on the street can see you
I came in the middle of a mild winter, so I didn't get to test out the heating or cooling capacities of the thermostat.
The radiator was pretty loud and sometimes made frightening noises (my boyfriend thought someone was trying to break into the room, lol), so if that's not fixed by the time you get there, just be aware of it so that you don't freak out!
All in all, it's a great room for an amazing price.
