Great basement apartment in Upper Astoria/Ditmars area, it's a good value for the space, and the owners of the house are there for you should you need anything. It is an older space (as most places are in New York City) but it's clean and the area is a safe neighborhood as it's very residential. There is a bus to take you closer to restaurants/grocery stores etc and the bus will also bring you near the train to go to Manhattan, or if you prefer to walk it's about a 25 minute walk to the train. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would definitely return! Thanks!
