Roosevelt island is the hidden, peaceful sanctuary of NYC, where you will find nice parks, a lighthouse, a great view of both Manhattan and Brooklyn, and a great walking trail that takes you around. Roosevelt Island station is right on the F line, which is convenient if you are spending your travel in Manhattan. We were more than happy with our temporary home while spending a week in NYC. Topi and Ken are the nicest people, and accommodated to all our needs - laundry, early bag drop-off, going in-and-out late at night. Thanks again for hosting us!
