We spent more than one month in Marina's apartment and it felt there as it was our another home. She and her husband are great people and they even invited us to vernissage and we had great evening with them.

It took us about 20 minutes to get to ferry with bus and than another 25 minutes to Manhattan (south Ferry). So it is almost same as living in Brooklyn.

Apartment was clean and cosy but because of winter time and trees just in front of window there was not much sun for us. But I think during summer is better.

Overall I would suggest to rent this apartment to everybody who do not mind to take longer way to Manhattan and wants to meet great people.
