The apartment is conveniently located on the F subway line. Rockefeller center, Bryant Park, Times Square, Central Park are within 30 minutes of public transportation. It is also possible to use the air tramway to go on the island, which is a nice experience. Svetlana was away during our stay but Marko, her son, was there to welcome us. I appreciated the bottles of water that he offered to us and the fact that we could use space in the fridge to store some food. The room is comfortable and the neighborhood is calm. I highly recommend this Roosevelt Island apartment to those who are looking for some tranquility in the heart of New York.
