I was lucky enough to stay at this lovely apartment overlooking New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty for a period of two months. Of course I did a lot of exploring while I was there, but it would have been very easy to have been lured into remaining in my breakfast spot at the window every morning, and just spent the days watching boats, planes, and helicopters coming and going across the water. A couple host the apartment, but I only communicated with Michael, who could not have been more friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was not the best of guests to deal with at the beginning as I unfortunately had to change my arrival and leaving dates multiple time, but Michael was extremely flexible and courteous throughout.
The USP of this apartment is undoubtedly the stunning views, from One World Trade, across a wall of lower Manhattan skyscrapers, Governor's Island, and across to Lady Liberty. But the apartment itself is well equipped with the large Vizio TV, a printer (useful for printing boarding passes etc), PC monitor for your laptop, a nice kitchen with a great gas cooker and dishwasher, and a nice bedroom and bathroom. The shower is good, the bed is memory-foam, although I found the pillows too soft for my liking. The AC is a little weak, particularly for the height of Summer, but it's manageable.
Overall, I had a great experience, and would recommend the apartment to anyone.
