We had such a wonderful time staying at Roula's apartment! My husband and I walked all around Astoria and felt safe the whole time; the neighborhood was vibrant and fun with great food and a Buffalo Exchange right down the street! Astoria Park is just a couple blocks over and is a fantastic place to people watch and find the occasional ice cream truck. This area is really close to the subway too and since you can get off at the last or second to last stop on the line, it's really easy to find your way home again.

The apartment was charming and bright, with everything we needed for our week-long stay. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and the tv had more channels than we knew what to do with! Roula and her family were extremely warm, kind, and welcoming and we'd love to stay with them next time we're back in New York!
