This is a fantastic apartment for a family, particularly with teenagers. It is a little further out, but well worth it to avoid cramming into a hotel room for five nights. It's really well equipped, very clean and a relaxing place to spend time after a full day of sightseeing.
We didn't have a car, but took the Path & Subway everywhere. Newport Path Station is about 15 minutes (max) walk away and goes straight to Manhattan, so nice and convenient.
Richard the host is very communicative. He's really helpful and very responsive if you need to get in touch.
