A great place to stay in New York. If you don’t want to pay overpriced prices in downtown, you have to move to one of the side districts. This lent me to to the Airbnb of Meghan, which is btw a super nice person. It was very clean, check-in was easy. The apartment was about 5min away from the ferry terminal which takes you in 25min for free to Manhattan 24/7 every 30min. If I would have one negative thing to say, that would be that the noise levels at night were quite high, something to consider if you are sensitive to that. Just be sure to wear some earplugs and it’s no problem. (also supplied by Meghan) The area is generally very safe because it’s directly next to a police station, although, like in most outer parts of New York, take care because there can be weird people around if you come home late at night. I’m glad I found this hidden gem and I would come back anytime.
