The apartment is so beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed for guests. We loved how close the Ferry was, and enjoyed taking in the skyline as we went to Manhattan to explore. We really enjoyed going everyday to the Red Hook Coffee Shop next door, which has a real neighborly feel. Quiet at night, and parking is street parallel parking that is easy to find. There's not much "to do" close by if you're looking for that, but feels more like a slice of real life in NY. We loved it!
