It was easy to check in with the code box. Very close to busstop that will take you to MidManhattan in 30 minutes. There's also a PATH train station a bit away that takes you to the heart of lower Manhattan - it's possible to walk to the train station from the house but it's also convenient taking an uber there.
We really recommend spending an evening in Hoboken waterfront to look at the Manhattan skyline - they have lots of cozy restaurants as well.
Patricias place is just as descibed, suitable for a family of four. We had a very lovely stay here!
