I had an enjoyable stayed at Esters home for 14 nights. The room at Esters place is exactly as pictured - it's very nice. The room is a good size, the bed is comfortable and the room and whole apartment is very clean. The large TV, hanging space and bar fridge are nice extra bonuses in the room. Breakfast included is good too.
Ester is a wonderful host, very friendly, helpful and kind (her niece and son are very nice too). Ester went the extra mile and helped me to get my delayed luggage delivered and looked after me with remedy's, when I was unwell (which was very sweet). The share bathroom was not a problem. I was never held up and it was very clean. A real home away from home. I highly recommend this property.
The free Red Bus on the island is very handy when it's raining or after a busy day. Otherwise it is only a short walk to the Roosevelt Island subway station or aerial tramway.
