Impeccably clean, quiet and the epitome of excellent hospitality in an amazing, creative space. Cleanliness is so important, especially when it's not your own space, that you find yourself appreciating it all the more when you are carefully considered and taken care of. What a wonderful host with an imaginative eye. There are a lot of hosts that just "host", but this fine lass really loves this part of her job and it's clear she does. I've stayed at quite a few Airbnb's and this one will stand out. I'd recommend this stay to anyone that's interested in Astoria and wants to experience a true Native New Yorker.
I loved the sound machine (even though the neighborhood is not consistently loud by any means) I used it to lull myself to sleep. The bed was so comfortable with really lovely sheets and towels. It gets hot in NYC apartments, that's just a fact all over the city and was so happy she had screens in the windows. She had an iron and hairdryer, things you don't think of until you don't have it. I love that she had a guide designed when you check in. Really great reference and with places to go for newbies.
I wouldn't change anything. I'm so happy I stayed. If she wasn't so booked up I'd stay again before I'm done with this assignment.
