This is a great place to stay. It is a bit further away from Manhattan, but that's exactly why we chose it. Lovely to take the ferry every day and see the skyline of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty in all weather. The place is clean and everything you might need is there. Very comfortable bed, very quiet at night (ideal when you're jet lagged and have walked a long time in the city). Restaurants are nearby, but we never used them. Supermarket nearby and there is a lovely wine shop near the ferry (ask for the name). We had a great time here, it was very relaxing to have a break from the craziness of the city. Highly recommended, if you do not need to be in the city till the early hours. Perfect for singles or couples.
