I have stayed in a few places in Astoria and this place was my best experience. As a former long-term resident of Astoria I can say this apt. is excellently situated. It is on a quiet street yet very close to an organic food store, restaurants, and the subway. I am a bird lover and was delighted that I was able to view bluejays, mourning doves, and starlings a few feet away from me on a large tree outside the kitchen window. Delightful!
