Leigh´s place is very well located, some 30-40 minutes out of the Times square and less than that to the World Trade Center, by Path, what´s really convenient. The only remark for the trasportation is during the weekends and late hours, when the trains have a longer intervall and the trip can take more than an hour.
Very safe and quiet place with ammenities and restaurants all around. Jersey city has the better view from NYC, by far. Besides being cheaper.
