Cozy Astoria Retreat: Simple Room in the Heart NYC

An inviting private/simple bedroom located in a beautiful tree lined street in Astoria. Safe and quiet but yet near many restaurants, bars, shops and transportation. Subway is a quick 15 minute ride to NYC. Great views of Manhattan skyline from Astoria park!! The space READ BEFORE BOOKING 1. This is a private room with a shared bathroom, there is no kitchen nor anything in it (no fridge, no silverware, etc) guests will only have access to the bedroom and the shared bathroom, there are no common areas. 2. Room doesn’t have A/C but a fan is provided, and windows are also operable to open them and have some breeze getting in the room. 3. Quiet hours go from 10pm to 5am I expect guests to be respectful of others sleep and keep it quiet during those hours (dead quiet) 4. If guests shower at night, they must do it before 10pm otherwise wait to the morning to shower. 5. Bedroom has no lock and this is not just in my place, NYC came out with new Airbnb regulations and one of the city’s rules is that rooms rented for short term periods (less than a month) can’t have locks. But my apt has security cameras and I never had issues with anything missing from my guests, but if guests are concern for the safety of their belongings, they can always buy a small lock and lock their bags. 6. Check in is after 7pm and I don’t do early check ins nor luggage drop offs. Check out is before 10am and guests can’t leave luggage at home after check out. 7. If guests lose the entrance key or don’t return it after check out, guests will be charged not for a copy but for a new door lock, which is not cheap, so don’t lose the key. 8. Check ins after 10pm are accepted but there’s an extra fee of $20 to be paid in cash at the time of checking in for the late check in. 9. For guests staying for more than one night, there are no time restrictions to come in or out of the apt but since my quiet hours go from 10pm to 5am I expect guests to be quiet if and when they come back home during the quiet hours. 10. One night reservations are accepted but keys are not provided for one night reservations (you must check in within check in hours and if you go out, you have to make it back to the apt before 10pm) 11. Visits are not allowed at home, if guests have family or friends in NY and they walk them home or pick them up from home, they have to stay outside, guests can’t bring anyone in the apt, not even to use the bathroom or to help them taking their luggage out. They stay outside. 12. Only one towel per guest for the duration of the stay will be provided, whether guests are staying for one night or for 1 month. 13. Shampoo, body wash and toilet paper is obviously provided but they are all pretty basic so guests are more than welcome to bring their own. 14. Even tho my phone number is provided, guests should try to communicate with me in the Airbnb platform only, so every message is recorded in case of problems. The bedroom is very simple it has a full size bed, a chair, a desk, a lamp and a closet with hangers, a clean set of sheets, blanket and a towel per person are provided with the room, there's a radiator in the room to keep the room warm and cozy during the winter, I have no control over the amount of heat provided since I rent I don't own the place but if it gets too hot, the room has a fan to keep some equilibrium on the temperature, the window is also operable without any keys so guests can open it to let some air come in the room, i live in the same apt and so does a family member, so I’m always available to help with questions or issues that might arise. Everything is cristal clear explained in this description, expect nothing more, nothing less, so I expect no more misunderstandings, if a guest didn’t read the description, is the guest’s fault, not mine. Nothing stated here is changing just because a guest didn’t read the description. If guests liked what they saw/read then guests can book the room, whoever didn’t like what they saw/read they can look for something else, I’m sure there are plenty of other places available. I live in the same apt, because of that, I’m picky and strict about who stays in my home, and I want only those who are ok with everything I have stated here, for everyone else, there are other places. Thank you and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have. Guest access The bedroom is private, the bathroom will be share with me and a family member I have living in the apt with me. During your stay I live in the same apt so I'm always available to answer their questions and when I'm at work, I'm available with the Airbnb platform Other things to note The apt has 3 bedrooms, I live in the same apt and so does a family member so there’s always someone around to help with questions or issues guests might have. I expect guests to keep the apt clean by cleaning after themselves, if something was clean before they used it, i expect them to leave it the same way after they used it (bathroom). Kitchen is no longer provided. Keys are not provided for guests staying for one night only, for one night reservations the place is pretty much just to check in, sleep, take a shower the next day and check out.
