We had a great stay at Mila’s. It was our first family trip to NY and NJ. We were able to navigate the transit system pretty well. The train is only a 10 minute walk away, and there is a bus stop right across the street. We loved the muffins at the Guatemalan bakery, also across the street, and bought makings for sandwiches at friendly Puchu’s on the corner. At first our kids were skeptical about the neighborhood but they warmed up to it once they met some of the store owners and the helpful bus drivers. Wished we had time for the science center that is close by. Liberty State Park is beautiful and a great place to walk next to the river and gaze on the skyscrapers. Best view of nyc we decided. One day we took the little liberty landing ferry from the park and sailed across the river to Battery Park. Awesome! Milas’s place was so nice to come home to each night. Took us anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on where we were coming from. Nicely furnished and decorated, good beds, great to have the washer and dryer. Mila was always quick to respond with answers and advice for our trip. We were sad to go!
