We needed to attend a game at Randall's Island and the apartment was the perfect location. It is less than a mile and there is even a pedestrian bridge for a less than one mile walk. Amanda was amazing. We had some questions before our stay and she was very helpful. The apartment is nice, clean and we felt very safe here. It is a top floor unit, so it has a beautiful view and is very quiet. We were two couples and the layout is perfect for that. We ended up bringing a car and we luckily found street parking right in front of the building both days. There is also a parking garage connected the apartment building that was advertising a good weekend rate which would have been a good option if we didn't get so lucky...
In terms of the neighborhood, you just have to be aware of your surroundings. We walked to and from the subway several times including at midnight on Saturday and 5:00 on a Monday morning and had no problem whatsoever. I can't recommend Amanda's apartment enough. Great stay all around.
