The apartment is located in a secured building which can only be accessed with a door code. They also have a doorman to monitor activity. It is walking distance from the 9/11 memorial site and observatory as well as Wall street/The Financial District. It’s also minutes from battery park where you can take the official ferry boat to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Time Square etc are within 15-25 minutes driving distance.
There are many convenient grocery stores and places to eat in the neighborhood. My only complaint is there is no washer and dryer as listed in the description. I would stay here again on another visit.
