I urge anybody travelling to New York to consider staying in Nicholas’ apartment. My family and I stayed here for 11 nights over Christmas and New Years and could not have been happier with the experience. The apartment is perfectly located in Astoria Queens and only a step away from a huge variety of shops, laundromats, supermarkets, and restaurants (including some of the best bagels in NYC). The Astoria-Ditmars train stop is only a few blocks away - it is a 15-20 minute ride into Times Square and being the last stop on the N and W lines there is always a train at the station. I highly recommend this location as an alternative to staying in Manhattan and promise you won’t be disappointed with your choice. The area is quiet but also busy at most hours of the day meaning there is never a need to feel unsafe, even when arriving back home in the early hours of the morning.
Nicholas’ apartment is exactly as described. It is tidy and well-equipped. It has everything you need to cook at home which is a god send for weary travellers on a long holiday. Nicholas himself was a pleasure to meet. Though we did not have a lot of contact he was flexible with early check-in and met us at the apartment to welcome us and give us a quick tour, he was also kind enough to stock the apartment with a few groceries to help us settle in. Nicholas was always available via text if needed and messaged us midway through our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. The apartment was also great value for money for 3 people trying to find accomodation in New York over the holidays on short notice.
Again I would highly recommend a stay at Nicholas’ place.
