I stayed @ 202 Van Horne St in the large room upstairs. I had to share the bathroom with the women across the hall. That was sometimes inconvenient. She had a 9 mo. old baby, so she needed the B.R. for more than herself. Good for me she was a really nice person. The place was clean, but I got one towel for my entire 5 day stay. The neighborhood was borderline bad. On weekend, the street was filled with older kids screaming at each other. Someone called the cops and they dispersed. I took a cab home that night, and the these people wouldn't let him through. To get the PATH train to Manhatten, you have to catch a local bus to
get to the train itself. If you have bus schedule, you could get to the PATH in 30 min , get on the PATH to get to World Trade Center. All in all, it takes 45 min. - 1 hr. to get there, depending how lucky you are with timing. So if you need to get there in "10" minutes, take a cab. The reason I chose this particular place is because it was what I could afford.
