Ester was such a wonderful host - she hugged me when I arrived, like she was welcoming an old friend to stay.
The room is very nice with large screen TV with cable, multiple online streaming capabilities etc. There is a small desk that was perfect for my needs, since I was in town for a short work trip.
You can take the F train or the Roosevelt Island Tram, which is so convenient. The few blocks walk to the building from either stop was very pleasant and safe or there is a free shuttle around the island.
The linens, bed, and pillows were all of high quality , as well as the toiletries provided. Location is perfect - so close to Mannhattan and all tourist spots! Will definitely stay again!
