We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is actually not too bad, very close to the state Liberty park, which is very nice. Couple of supermarkets nearby. Not a lot of restaurants or cafes but to us that was not an issue at all. There was construction going on at the time of our stay, but that did not bother us to much either. I would say it was quieter to stay here than in some New York City apartments. Definitely recommend, we very much enjoyed our stay.
