"What can I say?!"

Review Posted: February 18, 2010
"Am a seasoned traveller to NY, particularly Queens and this time I was bringing two friends who'd
never been to the States so the planning etc was all my responsibility. From the initial enquiry through
to arrival - the support from Suzanne was amazing. Everything was so prompt & professional.
We arrived on Saturday afternoon from the UK tired but excited. I cannot convey the look of delight on my
friends faces when they saw the standard to accommodation. It really is superb and no detail (however small)
has been overlooked. Everything was of great quality and the welcome basket, was, well most welcomed.
The area is great and convenient to anywhere you may want to go but I seriously recommend you take
time to explore the Astoria area itself, the restaurants are superb. If you want a good bar,
The Irish Rover won't let you down. We only stayed four days and I truly wish it was longer
BUT we'll be back, without a doubt. Suzanne & Edgar, thank you both for a fantastic holiday

“Perfect Thanksgiving Holiday in New York”
By: Parade Lover from Scottsdale, Arizona
Date of stay: November 2009
Review Posted: December 4, 2009
My family spent Thanksgiving week at Precious Jewel. We selected the Astoria neighborhood because our
daughter lives nearby. This location worked out perfectly for us. We were close to family and a lively local
neighborhood filled with restaurants and shops selling everything you could possibly need. The street the apartment
is on is very quiet and the subway is just a short walk away. Our days were busy with trips into the city and it was great to
return to such a clean and well-appointed apartment each evening. Suzanne and Edgar are thoughtful and attentive hosts.
The gift basket waiting for us when we arrived was wonderful, as was the daily cleaning service. The big screen TVs were
great for watching football and movies. We even had plenty of room in the kitchen to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner.
We will definitely stay here again and will recommend Precious Jewel to other family and friends.

“Precious Jewel of Astoria Queens”
By: Tom from Switzerland
Date of stay: October 2009

Our stay at Precious Jewel of Astoria was a pleasure without complaints. The booking was highly efficient.
The description was absolutely adequate and the service was hotel standards like, but without the tiny rooms you
would expect in NYC. The apartment was very clean and had all comforts one could expect. The way to the subway
stations was indeed very convenient and the area was worth a walk. We appreciated the daily service and
the visits and support from Edgar. We stayed during November 2009 and spent a great week.
When returning to NYC I would always choose this apartment and would also recommend it to my friends

“Highly recommended!”

this flat is the best place I’ve stayed at in New York so far. if you’re looking for a great place to stay,
that’s spacious, clean, modern, super equipped and with caring landlords, than this is the place to be.
not to forget the excellent value for money! for us there was nothing better than coming home to our flat
from a buzzing day in Manhattan - relaxing and unwinding in our own lounge room, enjoy a cup of coffee
and order some food. getting downtown is also very convenient: just grab an unlimited metro card and off
you are - there are two stations in walking distance and the trains running downtown will bring you to
your favorite spot in Manhattan without the need to change the subway. we will be back in New York
soon and there’s no way not staying at the precious jewel for us.

“Our Stay at the Jewel of Astoria”
By: Carlos from Stafford, VA USA
Date of stay: September 2009

Our stay at Precious Jewel of Astoria was nothing less than perfect. The townhouse is immaculate,
you could eat off the floor. All the comforts of home and then some. For a stay in New York I highly
recommend this excellent locatio close to the subway station, safe and clean neighborghood.
The daily maid service and gourmet coffee were additional touches that signify the attention to
detail that Edgar and Suzanne put into making you feel at home. Definitely will come back next
year and will recommend it to my friends and realtives.

“The most perfect holiday!”

Members of my family and I rented the Precious Jewell in August 09 -- we were in town for a long
weekend to celebrate a birthday. We were thoroughly impressed with the rental -- it was roomy, lovely,
and extremely clean. It was also very conveniently located -- close to subway, restaurants, amenities,
airport, etc. Edgar and Suzanne gave terrific customer service and were prompt in their communication.
When we arrived, we were welcomed with a beautiful gift basket of treats, flowers, bottled water and
vitamin water in the fridge. When we needed extra bedding, they brought it right over, as well as
movies for my two little nieces. The apartment was tidied unobtrusively each day. It was like a
home away from home. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting NYC. Also wonderful
was the fact that we could rent it for 3 nights, unlike other rental apartments that require a
minimum of one week. We will rent it again next time we come to town!
