We love this beautiful house!

My family and I absolutely loved staying in this wonderful home. Everything was so clean and comfortable! The kitchen has everything you need to make your meals in, or there are many great restaurants within walking distance of the house. It is a wonderful and beautiful place to stay! The owner Christina was extremely nice and helpful during the entire process of renting, checking in, and staying at her property. If we ever come back to NYC, we would definitely stay here again!

Stylish, Comfortable first floor of house

Owner Christina was a pleasure to work with, and her house reflects her warmth. The two-floor apartment is spacious, with three baths and two beautifully done bedrooms. The kitchen is extremely well supplied and well-designed. I prepared a full Christmas dinner with all the counter space and appliances needed. The location is safe and easy walking distance to the Ditmars area amenities. The neighborhood is pleasant for walking around and very quiet. We never had any problems parking near the house, and quality food delivery choices were abundant, even during the pandemic. We’ve stayed in several nice apts in Astoria, but this is our clear favorite!

The Best — Loved This Home in Astoria!

We spent 10 weeks in this awesome home. This allowed us to spend precious time with our first grandchild, being available to help while not being too much on top of new parents. This home also allowed us to explore all corners of New York City as it is convenient to the subway. This was the perfect “base of operations.” Everything was conveniently located nearby and our Host was always wonderfully thoughtful and responsive. We had a few other couples (friends and relatives) come to visit us for short times during our stay and they all loved it. The home was spacious and perfect to make all of us very comfortable and we always felt COVID safe. We even hosted a few small get togethers and the kitchen was perfect for entertaining. This home is full of light and has lovely art. Everything we needed was provided, right down to a yoga mat and a blanket for a picnic when requested. The place is very quiet and had wonderful views of the Hell Gate bridge and trains in the distance. Truly Christina could not have done anything more to make us feel happy and glad to be here. We will always treasure memories of this home and this stay. It is the best! Thank you so much, Christina!

An Astoria gem and a rock star host

We spent 2 months in this beautifully remodeled, modern and fully equipped 2 bedroom home. The kitchen is filled with everything an aspiring chef would dream of, including an amazing induction stove, a Gaggenau oven and a sizeable fridge. All the rooms are spacious and fill with natural light. The master bedroom is large and the second bedroom is very good, all with super comfy beds and pillows. The bathrooms are newly remodeled. With the warmer weather we were able to enjoy the BBQ and back patio as well as the front garden where you can sit in a swing chair and admire the view of the famous Hell’s Gate bridge while sipping your favorite wine. Located in a fabulous spot in Astoria just a few blocks of Astoria restaurant heaven and the Astoria park and the East riverfront. Walking distance to supermarkets, pharmacy, wine stores and any other first necessity shops, even Costco !

Great location, good accommodation, poor communication

While this was a great Queens location from which to explore all of NYC, and the accommodation was large enough for 2 couples to share, we were disappointed by the lack of communication from the owner, which resulted in us not being able to gain access to the unit, by the disruptive noise from upstairs (kids racing and jumping at 6am), and by the inadequate provisioning of the unit, which we rented for 10 days. This includes no hair dryer, inadequate toilet paper, lack of kitchen paper towels, no sealed soap, and inadequate basic kitchen provisions like black pepper, sweetener, sauces etc. Overall a decent experience.

Great family home for NYC trip

The property is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood in Queens which was very important to us with 3 children. It was about 10-15 min walk to the subway which took us directly to Manhattan and even coming back late at night felt very safe. Christine was extremely accommodating for us after another property owner left us in the lurch with just 2 weeks before our departure but she did everything possible to adapt her schedule so we could stay at the property for our weeks trip to NY and made us feel very welcome and was able to help whenever we needed it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property for its location, style and space and a very responsive and caring owner to go with it. Thanks Christine

Better than promised experience in a terrific location.

This spacious getaway was more than we expected when planning our short stay over New Years. The home was sparkling clean and had just about anything you could need to still feel at home while traveling. Everything was just as described and even had parking available in the street which was a plus. We were able to get into Manhattan in about 30 min by train which made things even more convenient. Christina, the host, made us feel very welcome in her home and was always available to answer questions. She gave us a few referrals on restaurants in the area which turned out to be amazing. We are definitely planning on returning here on our next visit to the area.

Perfect for family stay in NYC

We were a party of 8 with 4 children between ages of 10 and 12 staying at this property for a long weekend. The owner was extremely helpful and went beyond our expectations, even providing us with some delicious bagels and other snacks when we were concerned about food and a late arrival. The property itself is light, cozy warm, clean and very nicely decorated. The downstairs sofa was absolutely fine for a couple of the children to sleep and the rest of us had comfortable beds and bathrooms with plenty of nice towels and even toiletries. It is slightly out of the action which means a trip into Manhattan. On part of the weekend that we were there, the subway closed which made it less easy. However, there is a nice walk to the subway (made the mistake of doing this at night with luggage - should have taken a cab - there are plenty at the subway station) and also a really fun ferry which is a good walk but a nice one and we enjoyed it as part of sightseeing. The advantage of being out of Manhattan too is how quiet it is. I never expected that in NYC. The area is pleasant and safe-feeling and we had no problem getting an Uber when we needed a taxi. There is a handy corner shop at the end of the street for basics - it even had tonic and limes! I would highly recommend this property and send hearty thanks to Christine for her care and attention.

Quiet and spacious retreat

This was our first experience staying in someone’s primary residence. Christina was an excellent host. Her home is clean, spacious and a quiet retreat from the city. The location is close to restaurants, shopping and the subway. I would definitely stay here again, it was the perfect retreat for a girls weekend.

Super Comfy Triplex Astoria NY

We visited New York in early October for my kids Fall Break. We needed a space big enough for 2 families since it was a girlfriend trip with 2 female adults and our 5 children. This TH fit our needs perfectly. We needed to be near Citi-Field since we were going to a stadium concert there and we had to be close to a subway that had access to all the tourist sights which made travel with 5 kids super easy and convenient. We opted to Uber from JFK to the TH which was a great idea, traffic was atrocious, but it was under 50$ which we did both coming and going. The subway is close, maybe a 10-15 minute walk with kids in tow, but in my opinion, not close enough that I wanted to make multiple transfers and roll luggage down several street blocks to the place. The TH is in an interesting, quaint, and seemingly safe neighborhood with lots of people walking around everywhere and amenities within close proximity (CVS, Starbucks, Paris Baguette, Bare Burger, ethnic food, wine bars etc). The host, Christina, was very welcoming. The TH is gorgeous albeit a slightly confusing layout (at first) since it is a Tri-plex. There's a rental studio down below and a family living above, hence some little feet pitter patter, (we didn't mind) and the mid-section is the part we stayed in. The two bedrooms were very cozy but the queen room is only big enough for 2 people to sleep. Our teenage girls slept downstairs on the big couch. The master bedroom is much bigger and had a fantastically cozy king-sized bed and another comfy futon. The weather was humid and muggy at times so the fans/AC were useful. We did not prep meals very often as we were out and about but the kitchen was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped and so it was nice to come back to at the end of our day to kick up tired feet, have a drink and snack, and all hang out together....Overall our stay at this TH was a pleasant and comfortable experience, the décor is lovely and eco-friendly which is awesome, we are so glad we chose to stay here over a hotel. We loved New York, we only wish we had more time!!

Amazing place only a short ride to Manhattan

We loved our stay at Christina's place, it felt like home from the moment we walked in. Only a 5 min walk to the subway which took us straight into town. There is a great little bar at the end of the street and a little supermarket 2 mins walk away. The town centre is brilliant with many restaurants to suit all tastes and had a great village vibe. We were travelling with our kids and felt super safe even at night as there is young families all around. Christina was very prompt and helpful in her responses when we needed her. Overall would highly recommend you stay here.

Our Perfect Home Away From Home

Our family of four had such a great stay here that I'm not really sure where to begin. Upon arriving at the property, Christina's hospitability made us feel very welcome. Next, the tour of the house made us feel right at home. We quickly settled in and made use of the luxury appliances and furniture. Having all the necessities that we normally have at home made our summer in New York that much better. The location of the property is perfect to quickly get to all of the iconic New York landmarks and tourist locations, but also in a ideal spot to walk to many favorite restaurants of all the locals. With the help of Christina, and this incredible five star home, our summer in New York was unforgettable.

Beyond perfect

Wonderful is an understatement! Christina has been one of the warmest hosts I’ve come across. The home is lovely and spotless. The location is beautiful, just what you need on a getaway, in addition to close proximity to the subway and grocery stores. Her recommendations in terms of restaurants and things to do in NY only made our trip more memorable. Christina has been a great source of help and I highly recommend her place. Thanks for everything!

Our stay at Duplex/Triplex in Astoria

My husband and I stayed in this gorgeous luxurious Duplex/Triplex in Astoria. It was better than any 5 star hotel. The furnishings are elegant, the natural sunlight and backyard are glorious. The beds are super comfortable, the linens, towels, etc are first class. It is convenient to great local ethnic restaurants, an easy commute to Manhattan. We loved it. Can't wait to come back again.

BEST NEIGHBORHOOD

My husband and I came into town to visit some family and did not want to stay in the crowds of Manhattan. A friend told us to look into Astoria and we are so glad they did. We had most of our meals within a few blocks of the house instead of traveling into Manhattan since the Greek food was so authentic. Seriously, these restaurants must have their own tomato farms. They were so fresh delicious, I couldn't believe it. Some of the best Italian and Greek food we've ever had and a quintessential beer garden! Nothing in the neighborhood is pretentious or crowded but it feels diverse and bustling. We learned that the other side of Astoria BLVD is busier - but we were so happy to be in this pocket by the park with the opportunity to walk along the water every morning with a breathtaking view of Manhattan. We found taking public transportation around quite simple. The train is a few blocks up by the main shopping district and there are two convenient busses on the corner. Christina was an exemplary host. Her home is exquisite while being comfortable and relaxing. She made us feel incredibly welcome and we hope to stay with her again.

Incredibly warm and cozy home

My family and I stayed here with our 2 young children. We used it as a base to explore manhattan over the Halloween weekend. We initially thought we would treat it as a hotel, but it turned into a such a lovely home experience. It was so incredible, after an exhausting day of sightseeing, to come back to a warm home where we never felt like strangers. We had a car, but never needed to use it. The parking on the street was free and easy, and public transportation was really fun with the kids and zero hassle. We will definitely be staying here again. We could not have asked for a better host and home.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Sidoti

Host profile image
I am a chef and a designer with a great passion for a great many things! From baking cakes and cooking for family, friends and clients to finding properties that need attention and renovating, restoring and designing beautiful cozy welcoming homes. I care deeply about our environment and children and animals. I adore my little family. I am a grandmother, I practice yoga (I have Yoga mats and props for 2 here!) I have found that I have a real gift of hospitality and I love entertaining and making our guests very cozy and welcome. I am a perfectionist and am detail oriented, so making my guests stay incredible and assisting in travel arrangements, reservations, recommendations from massages after a long day walking to where to eat or where to go for a run is my pleasure. I love all seasons, they have something to offer. I am a passionate person and I love all things aesthetically pleasing. We have loved renting our other home and have had extraordinary experiences and we are excited by the opportunity to show our guests our favorite place in New York...Astoria Queens where I spent many of my childhood years.

Why they chose this property

Oh this property has magic! There is no obstruction of light from the back to the front of the house which is unusual in an urban area. The back of the house has a small urban garden and gate (alley beyond) with low rise homes around so the sun streams in! The front faces the Hellgate bridge. I have loved restoring this old home. This was the sight of the housing for Steinway Piano company and these homes were built in the 1920's. I left the facade the same but the interior was completely gutted to make way for a bright and modern space, decorated in a mixed aesthetic. Everything is sparkling new and lovely. I chose this home when looking to buy last year because of the light, the proximity to the subway and the park, the ease to walk to restaurants and local bars, and there is wonderful food shopping. And, of course the easy ten minute drive into Manhattan and the five minute drive to La Guardia and 30 to Kennedy airport. I love it here.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this home and area because it still has the feeling of old worldliness. As I walk up the streets I see grape vines, basil and tomato plants growing from even the smallest patch of green. In Summer there are roses in every garden! We use Astoria Park daily, playing tennis, or running on the track, or just hanging out on the great lawn watching the sunset over the NYC skyline - it's all wonderful. The new Astoria Ferry landing brings us to Manhattan in 20 minutes passing under the great bridges and costs $2.75 and from lower manhattan we transfer to the ferries out to the NYC Beaches! This home is centrally located to access the airports, Long Island, Westchester, Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey! The water front is wonderful to enjoy, and there is no shortage of wonderful things to do! We have a swing in the front garden to watch the sunsets over the Hellgate Bridge. The kitchen has a sliding door onto a deck where you can have breakfast and plan your days activities. There is a garden with herbs growing for your meals. We have a custom extra long sofa to curl up on after a long day. The master en suite shower is like a spa. We have the finest linens and towels to make you feel special and cozy. The floors in the house were brought in from Maine and are made of red birch, milled for us and finished with natural oil. We used only non VOC finishes in our home to keep this space clean and pure. There are A/C split systems in each room for custom comfort. This home and this neighborhood are deeply connected to the hustle and bustle and excitement of New York City but it feels like a little hamlet tucked away that after long days has a pleasant and elegant warmth to come home to. Every comfort has been arranged, and there is a local housekeeper that can come in if needed. Let me know if you have any further questions.
