We are an older couple and travel often. We have always stayed in hotels, and never tried Airbnb. Our experience with Negara's apartment was excellent. The apartment was stocked with essentials, things as thoughtful as bottled water in the fridge, coffee and coffee filters. There were plenty of linens, and even personal toiletries. Having all of the comforts of home, a great location in Astoria, and a little table and chairs to sit at in the evening made our stay all the more pleasant. We had a little bit of difficulty maneuvering the access code (most likely user error LOL), and left her a message. Within minutes she replied and guided us through the access procedure again. She even offered to come over, which speaks highly of her. Subway is less than half a block from the apartment and will get you into the City in less than 10 minutes. Lyft ride from LaGuardia is a mere $12. We felt very safe walking the neighborhood in the evenings and trying out some of the local eateries and shops. The other building occupants were very friendly and spoke to us every day, making us feel very welcome. If you're going to New York City, and don't choose to stay in the high-priced and cramped quarters of Manhattan hotels, I recommend Negara's Airbnb apartment.
