This is a lovely spot to escape the hectic pace of New York. I had a wonderful fall visit. Convenient bus service made it easy to get to the subway to go into the city. The area is quiet and safe. Julia and Liz are very responsive hosts who put a lot of personal touches into the space, including their own artwork. I was lucky to meet the older dog Leo, who was friendly and sweet. City Island is definitely worth a visit with lots of great shops and restaurants.
