Great for families. It's a short walk to the Ferry which offers free service to Manhattan. Easily slept our family of 5. There is even an office if someone needs to get a little work done. Hosts provided information and maps for people new to New York. Close to mini-marts and liquor stores if you need a snack. We made use of the Uber "Jump" Bikes which were readily available. If you have never used one: they are motorized and made uphill travel easy - just remember a bicycle helmet :)
