Astoria's proximity to Midtown Manhattan (4 subway stops), its numerous parks along the East River with gorgeous views on the Manhattan skyline, as well as an ever-growing collection of bars, restaurants and shops are reasons why it is considered by many as one of the best neighborhoods in Queens. This room for rent is located in a two bedroom apartment share at 29th Street and 30th Road, in the northwestern corner of Queens. The apartment sits on the 6th floor (considered the 5th floor by Europeans) of a 7-story building with elevator, an intercom security system and the convenience of on-site laundry facilities.
This apartment share has everything you might need for your stay in New York. The large bedroom (175 sqf or 16 m²) has a wall-mounted TV equipped with cable, so you will be able to enjoy your favorite programs in privacy. It also has a refrigerator. Wifi is available and is working well even if it can be slow at times. It also has a small desk that can be used as a work station, and two windows to allow in natural light. The other rooms in the apartment are shared with your roommate. The kitchen is separate and equipped with stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is tiled and has the convenience of a window for air circulation.
Astoria is famous for its varied cuisines and in particular for its great Greek food. Talk a stroll around your apartment and you will find the foods of five continents represented by nearby restaurants! Below is a list of useful commodities or places of interest around the area:
- Supermarkets: this location puts you conveniently close to several supermarkets and pharmacies: a Trade Fair and Key Foods supermarket, a 7-Eleven convenience store as well as a Rite Aid pharmacy are all located in a 0.2-miles radius (320 meters).
- Elias Corner restaurant: You cannot leave Astoria without having tried some Greek food. For seafood done the Greek way, head north to this restaurant at 31st Street and 24th Avenue.
- Astoria Park: the largest park in Queens and known for its beautiful pool, from there you can enjoy the skyscrapers in Manhattan, play sports, or just relax.
- Museum of the Moving Image : situated one mile (1.6 km) away, this great museum has activities and exhibits that will interest kids and adults! Movie aficionados will love the magic, history, and art of movies and all moving pictures.
- Bohemian Beer Hall and Garden: discover this huge beer garden 0.7 miles (1.12 km) away on 24th Avenue, with its trees, picnic tables, pitchers of beer, and platters of Czech food. It is a must on summer weekends with live music on many afternoons!
For public transportation, take the N or Q lines at the 30 Avenue / 31 Street station. You will be in midtown Manhattan in as few as 4 stops. These trains go down to lower Manhattan and all the way to the southernmost parts of Brooklyn. It is just as easy to leave NYC as La Guardia Airport is only 3.5 miles (5.6 km) away and the bus M60 takes you there in as little as 40 minutes (depending on traffic).

I had a wonderful experience sharing an apartment. My roommate is very considerate and jolly. We shared stories, laugh together and even exchange some food! Both of us are busy and have different working schedules. But whenever we are both in the kitchen, we had good chat, jokes and food! |

From the start the land lady was very professional and welcoming of myself into her apartment. She offered advice and assistance whenever it was needed and did everything possible to make my rental feel as homely as possible. |
