This place met our needs as a family of four with two young kids. It was very walkable to the subway and centrally located for easy accessibility to Manhattan and great restaurants and cafes in Astoria. We loved taking the ferry from the new Astoria ferry stop too. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was a game changer and Russell was very responsive when we needed him! I wish the apartment had more drawers and storage or shelving in each room, including the bathroom. The shower was small and leaked water, even with the curtain. That said, was a great home base for a week.
