This unit has an excellent view right on the river, with active barge and other river traffic. There are a number of trains that cross the bridge near the building, but they didn't bother us. The unit is just huge! There is SO much space. The balcony isn't very big, but it's enough to seat about 4, with a great view of the river. There's a large guest parking lot next to the building, and there was only ever 1 other car there with us. A number of reviews mentioned problems with the unit's door lock code changing every day. We didn't have that problem though, as the code was the same during our stay. It's a clunky system to log in to their site to get the code though.
