This place is the perfect value!!! Homey, personal, and very “New York” for all of you travelers. The location is perfect, being just a 15 minute walk to the free Staten Island Ferry which runs on the hour every hour, and every half hour as well. Total travel time to NYC’s 1 train (which goes Uptown to popular attractions such as Times Square, Grand Central Station, etc without a transfer) is about 40 minutes, 25 of which are spent on the beautiful Ferry passing right by the Statue of Liberty everyday! The view from the room is spectacular, especially at night, and Nicholas makes the apartment feel very comfortable and welcoming. For the price, this was a VERY worthwhile place for our visit to NYC! I have stayed in Times Square on a previous visit, and despite the traveling to and from the city each day, I preferred this location because of the views, the Ferry, and the spirit of “NY living” we had while there. Definitely staying here again next trip!
