What a great location! This apartment, which is indeed luxurious, is just 2 blocks from Paulus Hook where you can get the ferry to Midtown or the Financial District. On the weekends you can take the ferry for the same price as the subway, which is $2.50. There are two PATH stations in easy walking distance, Grove Street and Exchange Place, which get you to Manhattan in 10-15 minutes. Beata was a wonderful host and looked after us really well. She provided great advice about sites and attractions (we recommend the High Line and walking across Brooklyn Bridge), plus she went out of her way to drive us to the PATH station (at 6am!) so we could catch our train at NY-Penn Station. We really appreciated her kindness and attention. If you are planning a trip to NYC, stay here. It is convenient, relaxing and the apartment is high quality.
