We stayed at apartment (it is actually the box hotel) from 27 Dec to 3 Jan 2012. The apartment's living room was huge but the rooms were slightly small. It should be noted that there was no elevator at the building and the apartment was on the 2nd floor, especially as we had several luggage so be prepared for the climb. The walk across the bridge to the 7 train was harsh in the winter but we have an alternative of the G train at Greenpoint.

I would recommend this place for people traveling to New York as it was value for money compared to prices in Manhattan.
