If you are considering staying outside of Manhattan…this is your place! My kids and I had a phenomenal weekend at Laura’s lovely apartment in Astoria! We enjoyed exploring the area with its great restaurants, the Museum of the Moving Image, Astoria Park, and felt very safe walking everywhere. It was such an easy commute into the city-a quick walk to the subway and we were in Central Park or Times Square in about 25min! The neighborhood of row houses is so charming and quiet…we really enjoyed the area.
The apartment itself is perfect-so tastefully decorated l, plenty of space for the 4 of us, and Laura has literally thought of everything! We have stayed at plenty of airbb’s, and this is one of our favorites. I didn’t get a chance to cook, but the kitchen had everything you would need and then some. There were pods for the Keurig, snacks, soap and shampoo, etc…all of those kind of little extras that really make a stay comfortable.
Astoria has spoiled us…I don’t think we will ever choose to stay in the city again, and hope to make it back to Laura’s place for a girls’ weekend soon! Thank you for being such a wonderful host!
