BEST PLACE TO STAY. EVER. If there were an Academy Award - an AirBNB award for best hostess - Ladi would win it, hands down. Internationally, even. From sparkling clean rooms, morning coffee, cold bottles of water, nice cold A/C, comfy and clean bed,and breakfast if you are lucky, this is THE place to stay in NYC. Affordable yet very safe - Roosevelt Island is a residential area housing professionals and never once did we feel unsafe there - just like home in TN. And then there is Ladi and her sweet Angel - little Angel rode with me to the parking garage, and gave me some history about the island and where to find common things like restaurants and grocery stores on the short 1 1/2 block walk back. Parking is $24/day which is so reasonable. And you are only one subway stop, tram ride, or ferry ride (take your choice) from Manhattan! There's also a free bus that takes you around the island. I hope to always stay here, and of course, with Ladi, on future trips to NYC. Then there is Ladi the concierge - she tells you what subways to take, where to find this, that...and all only a phone call away for any questions you have when you are staying with her. Honestly, you feel like you are staying with one of your favorite relatives! Even helped us unload and load back up. They are very considerate hosts and you don't even know they are there unless you seek them out to talk. I can't say enough wonderful things about Ladi and Angel. Have stayed in many nice Airbnb's over the past few years - Ladi is over the top amazing! Love you both and your kind, generous hearts...unexpectedly, Ladi and Angel were the BEST part of an amazing trip to NYC!
