We offer a thoughtfully designed and furnished, quiet, clean, private 700 square foot space in trendy Astoria; a home away from home on your visit to iconic NYC. Short walks to restaurants, cafes, and the N/W subway make it the perfect base for exploring Manhattan and Queens. The space is a guest suite that is a part of our own larger space where we live. You'll enjoy uninterrupted access to the living and dining space, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. This lovingly cared for space is prepared to host you with clean towels and linens, WIFI, fully-equipped kitchen, 59" Smart TV w/ streaming cable, washer/dryer and coffee for sunrise. Each room has its own separately controlled heat and air conditioning. I continue to add features and carefully selected decor, so expect some additions to what is seen in the pictures. The neighborhood is safe and the street especially quiet for NYC. Please no smoking indoors, no pets and no parties or events, and no unannounced guests. Please respect the property as you would your own, and kindly conserve energy by shutting off lights, TV and heat/AC when leaving the residence. I would greatly appreciate if you would tell me a little about yourself and the nature of your trip to our great city and my charming neighborhood. Have fun, enjoy your stay! Guests will be able to access the entire 2nd floor apartment. Access to the apartment is controlled remotely through the August app and a door code, so check-in may be done remotely. I've lived in Astoria for 15+ years and am happy to provide as much or as little help and advice as desired. Astoria is a safe, trendy NYC neighborhood that has managed to retain its old-school charm. Highlights include incredible food (above all) from around the world, parks, museums and other activities, and easy access to midtown Manhattan. Ditmars Blvd. and 30th Avenue are both bustling neighborhood boulevards with amazing restaurants, trendy cafes, shops, grocers, butchers, fish mongers, etc. You'll find a neighborhood guide in the apartment that I created, listing many of my favorites in the area. I'm happy to be of assistance in any way and let you know about some local neighborhood gems. The house is about an 8-12 minute walk to the N/W subway , 15 minute walk to the NYC Ferry (Astoria Landing stop), and 15 minute cab ride to Manhattan and Laguardia. A super-convenient Citi-Bike station is located about 100 yds away just around the corner from the apartment. JFK can be reached in 30-50 minutes, traffic dependent.
