I stayed two weeks here. I highly recommend this place! This is a place with superb ratio of cost and performance for short-term stay in New York. The location is awesome. It provides multiple ways to Manhattan: you can take the tram, the subway or the ferry in one stop. And there is a frequent red bus that runs across the island that directly pick you up and drop you off at the door of the apartment and all the stops of major public transportation. The room is at 7 floor and has a window that you have a view with bridge and the water. And it provides access to the laundry room for the apartment complex ($1.9 for smaller washer/dryer each time) . Topi and Ken are the hosts when I visited. They are very respectful and always making sure I have everything I need. They provide my own set of utensils, kettle and towels. There is a small fridge in the room for the guess. The public garbage collection place are very closed, a few doors nearby. Just to be prepared to scrapped the water off the wall after shower every time, as that is one of the house rules to comply. I have access to the kitchen but NewYork has too much great food so I ended up have mild need for kitchen only. Overall I am very pleased with my stay. I will book again if I visit New York next time.
