Vasili's place is WONDERFUL! It's incredibly spacious and comfortable! It has a kitchen that's really well stocked (even some Harney and Son's Tea to enjoy!), a great spacious bedroom with natural light and a really comfortable bed, and a great bathroom that also has everything you could need and hot water. Really a wonderful place. If you come with good weather you can really enjoy the outdoor garden it has. It's so beautiful!
Astoria is wonderful and very convenient for traveling to manhattan and the rest of queens. It's about a 10- 15 min walk from the subway and has a bus stop literally right in front of the place.
Arriving is super easy! We arrived late at night and all we had to do was open a lockbox that's right on the door. Vasili sent us a recommendation for food in the area and was super responsive and helpful.
Highly recommend!
