We had a wonderful stay at Yoko's home! She was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The apartment is nice, clean, and cozy. The description of amenities is very accurate in the listing. We had feeling of a real home. Neighborhood is convenient. There are several convenience stores within 5 min walk. We found the Lafayette store (Pine and Communipaw, 3 blocks away) as the best one among them. The closest relatively large grocery store within a couple stops of light rail. To go to the lower Manhattan, you can actually take a ferry from Liberty State park to World Trade center (about 15-20 min walk and a 10 min ride).
