This apartment is perfect for two people. The place is newly refurbished and decorated and is just precious. And very clean! The host provides nice touches such as shampoo/conditioner, soap, hairdryer, fully furnished kitchen (we were able to cook meals to save money) and even an umbrella for the unexpected rainy day.
The location is great for the price you're paying. It is a pleasant 5-10 walk to the train that shuttles you quickly to Manhattan, and for only $2.75. It's also close to a ferry port to the Statue of Liberty. The neighborhood is full of families so you always feel safe. And there's plenty of local restaurants, drug stores, and grocers.
Melissa is communicative and very helpful with any questions you have about NYC and getting around.
We spent 8 days there, going into Manhattan every day. We would recomend this place to our friends.
And a bonus is the view of lower Manhattan from the boardwalk!
