The location is excellent if you want to do a helicopter tour that leaves from New Jersey or catch the ferry to Ellis and the statue from the Jersey side. But it was EXTREMELY dirty, they advertised pictures of 2 futons but there was only 1 (they provided a mattress that they stored on the floor under a bed, it was covered with stains and my son had bug bites in the morning). After spending a day site seeing in 100 degree weather we came back to the apartment to find the hot water didn’t work. I sent several messages and also called for help but they didn’t answer. The next day as we were packing up to leave they came to “help” with the hot water. So many reasons not to stay here, if we had another option when we arrived, I would have just stayed somewhere else. We were pretty much stuck with it by the time we got there.
