Pika and Topi were the perfect hosts in a perfect location! Roosevelt Island is a quiet and BEAUTIFUL place to stay in the city while still having Manhattan within a couple subway stops. Pika and Topi’s apartment is lovely, private, comfortable, and absolutely spotless as well. When we walked in, it was easy to tell that they took the time to clean and prep everything thoroughly before we arrived. Topi even allowed us to arrive early and drop off our stuff so we could explore the city without carrying around luggage. We were greeted with a warm smile, instructions on how to use the door keys, and lots of fun suggestions to check out during our stay. We never felt unsafe while in the apartment or on the island; It is a stunning area and everyone is so friendly! It was also really nice to wake up to such a “homey” environment each morning: A quiet breeze coming from the window, the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen, and a nice conversation to be had as we headed out the door each day. On our last day, Topi allowed us to keep our luggage there while we grabbed breakfast. We really appreciated having the time to enjoy the island for a few more hours without feeling rushed out. We will definitely keep this AirBnb in mind the next time we visit the city, and will always remember Topi and Pika fondly!
