Clean, comfortable and quiet. Total independence and easy access to public transport to downtown Manhattan, local shopping mall (many stores) and restaurants etc. Having the private bathroom and access to the outside area is a real bonus. Leigh was discreet, always available if needed and provided a great guide to local points of interest. Diego the chihuahua is a really neat pooch.
If arriving/departing through JFK, cheapest (?) way is Airtrain to Howard Beach or Sutphin stn ($5) then subway to Fulton St. (buy 7-day MTA ticket at subway stn = $30). Then 5-min walk to WTC PATH station. Train to Grove St. ($2.25)
