I can’t recommend Esters home higher for anyone wanting to visit NYC. Her hospitality started even before I entered the apartment as she greeted me at the building door. She operates on a ‘my home is your home’ basis and there is everything you need and more to have a great stay.
There are three different public transport routes from the island, all which use the metro card, which can get you anywhere you want in a short time. Take the F train from the subway station 5 minutes away and easily explore central manhattan or take the ferry to walk along Wall Street and visit the 9/11 memorial and World Trade Centre.
The place is perfect for anyone who wants to visit the city that never sleeps but sleep peacefully themselves.
