We stayed at Rafik's place for 5 nights in February and LOVED it! His place is even better than pictured.
- Sparkly clean
- Very well equipped (coffee, kitchenware, cutlery, cleaning products, fresh towels)
- Top of the line electronics, home appliances and furniture
- Spacious
- Extremely comfy beds and pillows (I miss them already)
- 2 rooms, each with a queen size bed. It was just my sister and I staying in his place, but this home can take 4 people comfortably
- Warm enough during the winter but not too toasty!
- Quiet, safe and friendly residential area yet his place is meters away from many restaurants, pharmacies, grocery & convenient stores
- Walking distance from the train/metro station
The best part though, was that Rafik was very quick and friendly in his responses and very helpful and thorough with all the info he provided us with.
I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Astoria, and highly recommend you book your stay here too.
