We are a family of four, two kids aged 16 and nine years old. There are two large bedrooms which was perfectly for us. The apartment is located about 10 minutes walk from Journal Square. You can take the path train from Journal Square to World Trade Center or to 33rd street to midtown Manhattan. Either way you will be in about 30 minutes from the apartment in Manhattan. The area is safe and there are a lot of shops and restaurants around. Parking could be a bit problematic but we have been lucky; we could actually park the car directly in front of the apartment. We didn’t meet our host, Denis, in person, but he was very responsive and helpful. Next time when we come back to New York City we will contact Denis again.
