The space is a good size for one person or a small family, but the bathroom is really too tiny. There is a large fridge which was great to store beverages. I loved the washer and dryer. There are several bus options to get to NYC, including the 123 and 119. However, the distance to NYC proves challenging and tiring, as the buses are always delayed. Probably best to stay on Manhattan Island anywhere. The complex is dated looking and supposed to be non-smoking, but you smell smoke instantly upon opening the front door to the foyer, as well as in the room at night. It was pitch black when I entered the complex, and the lights were hard to find in the foyer and the room in the dark. Be sure to arrive during daylight hours. The neighborhood seemed safe, even at nighttime.
