Had a great stay at Yoko's. Highly recommended if you want an affordable place to stay near NYC.
It was exactly as described - a cozy and spacious apartment. There is construction right beside their house and it is in a slightly run down area. However, we found it was exactly what we needed for a short stay and we had no issues coming home late at night. It had more than enough room for our group of 6. Easy to find free street parking in the area.
Convenient Location -- It's a 25-30 minute walk to the Liberty State Park.
Going to NYC -- It's 5-minutes to the Light Rail then PATH station. If you are a big group, we suggest to skip the Light Rail and just go directly to the Grove Street PATH Station via Uber/ Lyft/ cab.
Yoko and her family were very gracious and also let us use the bathroom once we arrived (which was a few hours before our official check-in time.)
