I consider myself very lucky and am grateful that I stumbled upon Esters place and decided to stay here.
Ester is an amazing and generous host and a great person to talk to. Located on Roosevelt Island my room was surprisingly big for NY. Having a half bath added extra comfort and space. Everything was very clean and tidy.
Roosevelt Island offers great views to Manhattan, traveling downtown with the Tram is great. Being somewhat outside of bustling Manhattan, but getting anywhere quickly with the F-line was perfect for me. Roosevelt Island is a small and safe area.
