It is a nice and cozy place, convenient to public transport and only 20 minutes from Newark International airport. When we arrived we were greeted with a very warm house which made us very welcome having come from Florida. The house is situated in a quiet street but for a few days we could we hear a lot of construction work from both sides of the street further down.
We spent the majority of our stay in Manhattan and used the Light Rail, PATH and NYC subways to get around. The nearest Light Railway stop (Liberty Park) was 0.4 miles away which connected to the New Jersey PATH system and into NYC.
The house is well equipped for anyone cooking at home and well furnished with enough seating for large groups. As we traveled mainly on the railway system into NYC we did not go into Jersey City and we shopped mainly around the stations. So it is hard to say how convenient the general stores are to our place of stay.
