The location has to be the USP. With views to Manhattan, the World Trade Center is accessed via the local train service, only a five minute walk away. Newark Airport is also accessed very easily. Yes, there's a real noise problem here!! But what a pleasure it is to wake up to the sound of a duck's, rather than the unpleasant sounds of NY traffic! *Times Square is 15 minutes via the subway.
Clean and well equipped with free WiFi, DVD player, iPod docking and laundry facility included; they are well designed too - so maximum use is made of the space available. The area isn't over endowed with good restaurants but, if self-catering, you're OK, with a supermarket and convenience stores and 'delis' nearby.
The views from that rooftop terrace to Manhattan can't be quantified financially. They will just stay in the memory forever.
It's 'sold' on the stunning location. The reality is that bathrooms in particular are dated and there's evidence of limited abilities in the field of DIY generally. In the communal areas, you won't catch your breath at the high standards of carpets and things like that. It's all OK. This American Dream, though, needs finer tuning to become spectacular.
After all the hype, the area itself is lacking in good places to eat and drink. Everywhere is a journey.
There's no luggage storage for travelers. At these prices, this can be a real inconvenience. With a little thought, the problem could surely be averted.
