This private room in a 2 bedroom apartment is a very good value for NYC-area accommodations. It's slightly over a mile walk to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry through a lovely park. There's a coffeeshop and bodega around the corner and a pizza place about 5 blocks away but not much else in the residential neighborhood.
The bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen are clean. Not much in the way of cooking utensils.
Both rooms in the apartment are rented to AirBnB guests. I became friends with my fellow guests and actually went to the Ellis Island museum with them but I could have easily kept to myself. The key should kept in a lockbox around the corner, which caused me some concern when there was no key in the box, but the hosts were responsive to messages, let me in with an app and delivered a key the same evening.
This is a good no-frills place to stay on a budget near NYC, especially for visiting the Statue and the amazing Ellis Island Museum.
