My New Apartment in New York, in the Long Island City Neighbourhood
Discover my incredible apartment in New York on video, specifically in the Long Island City neighbourhood, just steps from Astoria. After the troubles with my previous 6-bedroom in Harlem, we decided to be a bit more demanding.
It was time for a change
If you're watching this video or reading this article, make sure you've read this first: My First Apartment in Harlem.
As you know, my old apartment was in West Harlem, steps from the 137th City College subway stop, and it was a disaster. Although the apartment itself was nice with good potential, living with Airbnb guests and flatmates who couldn't care less is no fun. That's why we decided to move to Long Island City in early March.
Between Long Island City & Astoria
After yet another disappointment, we decided to visit this apartment on a whim. The photos and listing had all the hallmarks of a scam: overly attractive photos, ridiculously low price etc. But since it was close to Astoria, a neighbourhood we really liked, we decided to give it a chance.

At first glance, Long Island City wasn't the neighbourhood that interested us most, simply because we didn't know it. We were more interested in Williamsburg (very hipster/boho/artsy neighbourhood)
