Rosa's place was excellent: good shower, comfortable bed near Manhattan. It took us 15 minhtes to get to Times Square. The neighborhood (Astoria) is convenient and safe. Astoria is a really good area. It's a 5 minute walk to the subway station. Some days, we came home after late and it was ok walking around. Nearby, there are restaurants, snack bars, laundromats, cafes and groceries. I felt at home at Rosa's place and she was extremely helpful with my schedule changes. She always attended us when we needed, even not staying at home during our accomodation. I would appreciate staying there next time.
