Superb stay at the Precious Jewel
Guest: Italia65
(Buffalo, NY)
Date of Stay: 12/01/11
Review Submitted: 12/05/11
Just got back from a wonderful weekend in NYC, where we stayed at the "Precious Jewel of Astoria." The pictures of the property are 100% accurate, this was truly home away from home. Edgar and Suzanne were very personable and helpful. They were attentive to all of our needs. My husband and I took our two college aged sons, along with their girlfriends to visit NYC during the Christmas season. There was plenty of room for all of us. Upon arrival, we were presented with a beautiful gift basket along with bottles of water and Vitamin Water in the refrigerator. The bedding was comfortable and the living area gorgeous. The owners checked in with us to make sure that we had everything that was needed. The apartment was blocks away from the subway, a three minute walk. Two trains go in and out of Manhattan all day long. Visiting the city in December was exciting, but it was so nice to leave and return to a quiet brownstone in the evening. We were able to relax and enjoy each others company. My husband and I plan on returning over the summer--this time just the two of us :) I have stayed at a handful of vacation rentals by owner, this was by far the best! Thank you Edgar and Suzanne.

We stayed at precious jewels for eight days with our two teenage children. We came on my partners 40th birthday what a welcoming suprise my partner got balloons banners the most gorgeous birthday cake and so much more Suzanne and Edgar are so kind and the perfect host. The apartment is very spacious and homely we had a very comfortable stay here.Thank you to Heather who kept the apartment clean everyday providing us with fresh towels. The subway is a two minute walk away and takes you to manhattan in about twenty minutes. We most definately will be returning to precious jewels we loved it and fell inlove with nyc.

The apartment had everything we needed. We stayed there for 10 nights with our two teenage daughters. The apartment was very clean and the daily cleaning service was great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. On arrival we were welcomed with flowers, a fruit basket, snacks and cooldrinks. The apartment looked like the pictures on the website. The subway was a short walk from the apartment and took us directly into Manhattan. We had a great time and would recommend the apartment, especially for people with children as it is very spacious.

We had a very nice stay here. The owners allowed us to leave our luggage with them since the other party was not departing till 6pm. We came to watch a Yankee game anyways. Edgar and Suzanne provided a nice food basket and complimentary drinks during out brief 2 day stay. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment was very clean. They are truly the best hosts I have experienced to date. So the saying about New Yorkers being rude does not apply to the owners of the precious jewel. The subway is less than 2 blocks away and the area was very safe and quiet. We will be back for more baseball and exploring and hope that this Jewel of a place is available for our stay.

We have stayed there for 15 days at the Jewel of Astoria and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. The owner and his staff are consistently friendly and helpful, the location is perfect and the apartment and the whole building are very well-maintained. There are no surprises. What you see is exactly what you find, plus a lot of little details (flowers, a basket of fruits, etc) that make your stay more enjoyable. Maps, guides, you name it... it is there. The apartment is cleaned everyday, towels are always fresh, there are no things you can think of to make your stay better that they do not provide. The subways is two blocks away and takes 15 min to get to Manhattan. So you have it all, you are close enough to enjoy the city, but not as close to suffer it. Overall, J of A. is truly a great place to stay!

My parents and I had a very pleasant and comfortable 10-day stay at this apartment. It was extremely convenient in every way: its location near the subway and the shops and restaurants of Astoria, as well as all the modern conveniences that you might need. Everything was very clean and well-kept, and the daily house keeping service was respectful and efficient. Suzanne and Edgar, the owners, were very hospitable and helpful and made us feel welcome and were available for any questions that we had during our stay. I strongly recommend this rental to anyone without reservations and will keep it in mind for our future needs.

Super City Vacation in New York
Guest: Johanna

Date of Stay: 04/21/11
Review Submitted: 05/07/11
We were three New York visitors from Finland and we stayed in this apartment for five nights. I must say everything was much better than what we expected. The apartment was very clean and had everything what was needed (and more). The subway station was just five min walk from "home" and the neighborhood was quiet and yet had what was needed, f.ex. supermarket and pharmacy. I can highly recommend this apartment for New York visitors. It took only 15-20 min to get to Manhattan. Many thanks for Suzanne and Edgar. I hope we will meet again.

You make the decision, pay the money and then just have to keep your fingers crossed....well I was delighted that Precious Jewel is all it claims. Great location, modern and spacious, and clean. We visited in early March and had beautiful Spring weather. Used the Metro to travel to Manhattan every day.($29.00 for a week). Station really close, and another only a few minutes in the other direction where there are several cafes to grab breakfast. The property owners made themselves available to us should we need them and the apartment was tidied every day. Basket of snacks, drinks in the fridge and fresh flowers are thoughtful touches. We would definitely return in the future.

The Best Accomodation and Owners Ever!
Guest: Alison, Pam, Jill and Lyndsay
(Scotland, United Kingdom)
Date of Stay: 10/21/10
Review Submitted: 01/19/11
We would like to say this was the best accomodation we could have wished for and would recommend this 100%! Suzanne and Edgar are amongst the kindest and considerate people we have met. We came to New York to celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday and as well as a welcome pack and fresh flowers, they had left a dozen red roses and a card for Jill and the most delicious birthday cake to die for! - and again huge thanks to them for that. The apartment is everything in the description and more. The metro is only a five minute walk and fifteen minutes takes you into 5th Avenue, twenty to Times Square. It was so easy to get in and out and around NYC. We bought a weekly pass for $24 and that gave unlimited access to the metro and local buses had we wanted. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and we felt extremely safe. The apartment was beautiful, immaculately clean, with a daily cleaning service. Suzanne and Edgar kept in touch throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and to wish us well on our way home. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! Again thanks to Suzanne and Edgar for making our stay one of the most memorable we have had and for making Jill's birthday one to remember!! The personal touches were wonderful. We will all return some day and will definately stay at Precious Jewel again. Have a great time if you visit, we had the best ever!
