The apartment was very nice and only 5 minutes away from the ferry. If you take the ferry it is only two stops (about 20 min) to Manhattan. The ferry runs approximately every hour with an exact time table. If you arrive with a car as we did you can park in the street for free but you must move your car once a week.
If you take the subway you can either change to a bus which stops 5 minutes from the apartment or you can walk directly from the subway which takes 17 minutes. But when we were there (Dec 2022) there was a huge construction site so that the bus or the ferry were the better choices.
In the vicinity of the apartment there are some nice cafés and some mini supermarkets and also a big food market.
When we had a question Anthony was very reachable.
