Rafik's place in Astoria is truly wonderful. A spacious, recently renovated 2 bd. with all the modern amenities, comfortable beds and furniture, TVs and AC units in both the living area and both bedrooms, as well as other fun tech gadgets (iPad minis). The place was spotlessly clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Rafik always replied instantly to messages and made sure we had everything we needed; a most considerate host. The place is also conveniently located off Ditmars and a pleasant walk to the Astoria/Ditmars station (final NQ stop) and many wonderful restaurants, bakeries, and bars. Highly recommended!
