We had a great time visiting New York and this listing was one of the reasons! Svetlana and her son were very welcoming and she had great advice on things to see and do in NYC as well as how to best get around the city. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Although we didn't really use it, we had access to the kitchen and there was a section of the fridge set aside for us.
The location on Roosevelt Island was convenient to Manhattan via the subway or tram, but it was much quieter and felt separate (in a good way) from the hustle of the city. It was great to have such a place to rest and relax after sightseeing all day. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit NYC but wants to avoid the lights and sounds that might keep you awake at night!
