We had a great stay at Negra’s. Communication was very good. The apartment is well appointed. There were 3 of us so it was a little snug but not a problem. Great shower. Be aware that there are steep steps up to the apartment which was fine for us but may be an issue for some. Astoria doesn’t have the charm/vibe of say Williamsburg but we liked it. Plenty of local restaurants that were pretty good. Good connections to Manhattan but be aware that the local line was shut for maintainance which then makes it a bit more awkward. We would be happy to stay here again.
