Our family was blessed to experience a magical summer adventure in NYC, largely due to the welcoming, comfortable accommodations at Christina's lovely studio apartment. We truly fell in love with the neighborhood of Astoria and would highly recommend it for a long-term or short weekend stay. Astoria abounds with beautiful entry gardens, a welcoming community of local business owners, a population of cultural diversity, amazing restaurants and beautiful peaceful parks! Christina and family made us feel at home from the moment we booked the listing and throughout our 7 week stay. The home is perfectly positioned near subways, bus stops, ferries, shopping, restaurants, and parks with beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline. There are plenty of activities in the Astoria, Queens area, and it is just a short subway or ferry ride to Manhattan or Brooklyn. We traveled with our two children (ages 10 & 6) by subway, bus, ferry, Uber, and walking during our stay and always felt safe and "at home". The kitchen is fully equipped, the washer and dryer make life in the city SO much easier, the bed and futon are very comfortable, and Christina provides storage solutions to assist with long-term stays. We were thrilled with the hospitality shown to our family in Astoria. We enjoyed the home's quiet & peaceful location, the comfortable accommodations (and spacious for NYC), the safety and beauty of the neighborhood, and the helpful & loving spirit of Christina. BOOK NOW! You will NOT be disappointed with this lovely Astoria apartment!
