Roosevelt Island is a great place to stay! Right next to Manhattan, yet a relaxing place to return to after the hustle and bustle. Shoes off in the house, so the floors are very clean. Bathroom is also very clean. The apartment was kept at around 74; a little hot for me, but it wasn’t too bad. There is a window AC unit in the room I stayed in, but I never used / asked about it because I was out most of the time I was there. Hosts were cordial and friendly - there when you needed them! Cute little market downstairs, a great corner store as well. A Walgreens right outside of the train station if you forgot anything at home. Important to note that there are also restaurants on the island itself - If you don’t want to leave, you don’t have to. As this is NYC, I did a lot of walking. However, if you don’t mind walking, this location and a 1-week unlimited metro card is your best bet!
