Small, great, value place within reasonable distance to Manhattan. Perfect for solo travellers/couples looking to explore the city. Fulfilled all my expectations, really enjoyed staying there for a week.
Some bullet points:
- It IS a fully-equipped apartment, including own kitchen and bathroom. That said, it's worth mentioning that Snezhana lives with her family directly upstairs - don't be surprised by that :). Definitely felt comfortable and private, wasn't disturbed in any way - in fact didn't even meet the host in person (which is actually a shame, as she seems really nice!).
- Short walk to Astoria / Astoria-Ditmars Blvd subway stations.
- Easy to reach from JFK airport: either 25-35 minutes by Taxi/Uber, or by combination of AirTrain and subway.
