Marcia's apartment is amazing, truly a gem. There are more square feet in her Loft than in my 3 bedroom house! The living room windows have views of the Manhattan bridge framing the Empire State building and she is across the street from a Citi bike station and a few blocks from the F train. You can walk to Brooklyn Bridge park in under 5 minutes and there is plenty to see in DUMBO or you can hop on the F train an be in Manhattan in one stop. There is also the East river ferry or, like we did, you can get a Citi bike and ride over the bridge. It takes maybe 25 minutes to ride into the Chinatown/Soho/Nolita/Little Italy areas. Marcia was easy to contact and very available if we needed her.
