Vasili’s flat is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a quiet corner of Astoria to call your temporary home. Only a few blocks from the Ditmars stop (last stop on the N), into midtown Manhattan in about 15-20 minutes, but don’t skip checking out Astoria, with its great restaurants along the various main drags. The apartment was clean, had excellent space, and the shower was great. If you happen to be exceptionally tall (well over 6’), a basement apartment might be a tricky prospect; however, my fiancé and I are well under and didn’t have any issues. Amenities listed were all provided, and Vasili was an excellent host, checking in to make sure we had what we needed, but never intrusively. Would happily recommend!
