Roosevelt Island is one stop from Midtown Manhattan. The apartment is one block from the subway station, where you can access the F train at Roosevelt Island subway station nearby; it runs down Sixth Avenue, stopping at Times Square, The Village, the Theater District, etc. Once in Manhattan, you are walking distance from the United Nations.
This is a very quiet and residential neighborhood known for its international community; a lot of United Nations members reside here. There are everyday conveniences (i.e., bank, post office, cleaners, a large Greek coffee shop, Italian and Japanese restaurants) and a promenade also runs around the whole island where people jog or stop to picnic or BBQ. A red bus also goes around the entire community, making speedy and easy transportation another benefit. The apartment is also a short walk from the Tram, which runs to Manhattan in 4 minutes and is a short walk Bloomingdales, restaurants and a movie theater.
Living here was great! The residents are so friendly and the location is great, not directly in the city but only a quick subway stop away. Whole foods right off the train on manhattan and room is great size. I loved it, it was the perfect spot for me in NYC.
Dec 23 2012I'd recommend this place to anyone working in the city or visiting for a few months. I felt very comfortable in the building and with the roommates! Overall a wonderful experience and I would go back again in a heartbeat.
An ideal solution for who wants to study in NYC. the room is comfortable with plenty of space available for books and clothes, besides there is a DSL wifi connection. Apartment quite clean, bathroom rather small but convenient. The apartment is 10 minutes away from Broadway with the subway, most convenient to go to the city frequently but live in a quiet environment surrounded by greenery. The landlady is very friendly and helpful.
