Safe neighbourhood. I stayed here by myself for a couple of days and I traveled comfortably from Manhattan to Daphne’s place with the metro in the evenings. Also took an Uber a couple of times, prices varied from $20-$30 Daphne has a characteristic house and is a very friendly and open person with whom you can chat about anything. If you’re looking for an original place in Astoria with an authentic NY host, this is your go to!
