Monthly Rentals in Roosevelt Island

We stayed in this cozy apartment for 3 months and everything was just so great. We already had high expectations when we saw the pictures on Airbnb and it was even better! The apartment is very quiet and less than 30 min away from manhattan, so definitely worth the price. Besides that, Alida and Dirini worked really hard to make us feel comfortable living in this apartment and were always happy to help out whenever there was a problem, we genuinely appreciate their kindness and hospitality throughout these three months. By the end of the day, we will definitely describe our time in this apartment as perfect.

We had a great 33 day stay at Shain’s apartment. It’s an older building with big steam radiators that kept the place very warm during our stay in January/February 2025. The apartment freshly painted and everything was very clean. A comfy queen size bed and a couch were perfect for lounging around in the evening while watching the TV (with surround sound speakers everywhere). The small kitchen has all the amenities if you want to make dinner. We never made anything there except morning coffee. Who needs to cook when within a 2 block radius there are multiple bagel shops (Daily Bagel was our favorite), at least 6 coffee shops, and dozens of restaurants (Au Zat’Atar was excellent). Also Trader’s Joes is one block away and there are multiple wine shops within a few blocks. There are no laundry facilities in the building but immediately across the street is “Eddy’s Laundry and Dry Cleaning.” Service was great and items dropped off in the morning are ready the next day.

I stayed for 1 month and I would describe this as a great way to get a "New York Experience" without most of the bad things people hear about. The neighborhood is central, safe, near everything and less than a block from the 6, E and M. The home is just the right size, very quiet, well kept (bug/pest free) with excellent furnishings (basically like going to sleep in World Market, style-wise). I slept so well that I asked Nathan to send me a link for the mattress he has. Laundry in the basement is also a huge bonus for long stays. Overall great experience, I would have stayed longer if it hadn't been booked already. It's priced accurately in the current market as well. Local Hints: The Smith down the street is your best bet for consistently good meals. There's a CVS and Duane Reade around the corner. You can walk to Grand Central easily, but the 6, E, M connect to every subway hub in Manhattan. Drop-off/pick-up by car is easy, there's an unusual amount of room on the street.

The apartment location is very good and it is exactly as it appears in the photos. Benjamin's response to requests was very quick.
