This minimalist studio-style room in Long Island City is an ideal base for those visiting the Big Apple on business or for a couple on a romantic getaway. You’ll enjoy the less touristy location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Yet, you’ll know you’re not far away from the action, especially with the spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline that you can marvel at from the communal rooftop terrace. Inside your home, you’ll find a comfy bed, set in the centre of a bright and welcoming room. And while there's no kitchen, there’s a coffee machine and mini fridge to help fuel any work you may need to catch up on at the handy desk space here. We recommend starting the day, however, with a cup of Joe out on the private balcony before setting off for a day of sightseeing fun. Outside of your building, you’ll find yourself just a short walk from the subway station, meaning that no part of the city is too far away. Walk down to Hunter’s Point for arguably the best Manhattan view there is, and enjoy the many trendy coffee shops and eateries in your area.
