This apartment is large, comfortable and functional. The view from the balcony is good, the view from the roof is incredible. In summer you’d have a cracking bbq up there, with lots of space and communal facilities.
We were split regarding the location. My partner liked being a little bit out of the city and seeing the ‘real’
New York, however there was work on the underground/overground line that meant we had to take replacement buses on the weekend, and it became a longer journey than originally expected. I’d probably stay in Manhattan next time. That said, for the cost the apartment is good and certainly much better than anything you’d get for the price in Manhattan.
The diner on the corner as you walk towards the station, is absolutely brilliant, great American diner atmosphere, huge menu, great value, huge portions and very tasty.
