This place was amazing! Its only a 2min walk to the train station, and 20mins to midtown manhattan. Theres so many restaurants in such close distance. Downstairs from the apartment there is an italian bakery, cafes, laundromats, and a few restaurants. I was able to walk 20mins east to several parks on the water where you could see the manhattan skyline. Only downsides overall were not truly knowing what your roommates would be like. Sometimes roommates would take up the kitchen for several hours and not be very considerate incase they are taking too long. Also, these walls are very thin. So if you happen to room next to a happy couple who love to get intimate at 3pm, bring some ear plugs! :)
