An apartment we advise to allof those who wants to discover the real New York (not just financial districts).
Astoria is a quiet neighborhood and filled with many shops, people with family and kids, the advantage is to be in less than 15min in Manhattan center by subway (3 minutes of walk from the apartment to the nearest subway stop).
Daniel was a great host for us. Attentive but not intrusive, helpfull, we had no trouble letting our stuff there, he hosted us in an apartment tidy, clean and even with towel for us and the free space in closet and space in the fridge. The bedroom had airconditionning system, a king bed for 2 with the sheets was available for us.
Another big thanks to him! a really nice experience for our first time ! Finaly Better than an hotel experience because of the proximity of the real new yorkers, the host is great and the price is 5times less pricy!!
