I've been lucky enough to visit New York on many occasions and have become aquainted with much of Manhattan by trying to stay in a different part of the city each time I visit.
I've heard of, but never visited, Roosevelt Island and when I saw this listing, decided to give it a try whilst I was in New York for 3 nights.
It was a great base for my trip - an easy 15-20 mins into Manhattan via the subway or tramway, however perfect for a good night's sleep, just a stones throw away from the city that never sleeps.
The apartment was comfortable and homely, with everything I needed for my stay. Whilst Pika wasn't there, I felt in safe hands as her parents were very welcoming and friendly.
Would recommend for anyone visiting Manhattan who doesn't want to be right in the centre of all the hussle and bustle of the city, but within easy reach of it.
Thanks for having me!
