The apartment was in a superb location close to transit (a mere 5 min walk to the path station or ferry) and within short walking distance to a grocery store and some restaurants. As some other reviewers have mentioned the apartment has some windows without blinds--a wall of windows in the kitchen (might pose a privacy issue for some) and a small portion of the upper windows in the bedroom. We were not so concerned with the kitchen, but the lights from the building across the street were a distraction in the bedroom. I came prepared with an eye mask and that helped me as I need a dark room to fall asleep. We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet and safe the neighborhood was. It was a welcome respite after long days spent in NYC. I interacted with the host by email and she was incredibly responsive. Both check-in and check-out were smooth. Would recommend staying at this apartment.
