The place and location is great. Access to all parts of the city via the subway stations close by and access to pier 11 for paid ferries and free ferries like IKEA weekend ferry and Staten island ferry go a long way in helping one get around the city. Having the church close by was also a major plus point. Laundry facilities across the hallway helps a great deal. A lot of different markets close to suit every pocket. In addition to this Dan's quick responses are very helpful when you was looking for a solution to any problems you might face.
