Daniel is a fantastic host! His communication was prompt and informative. The apartment was great - lots of space, a view of the Statue of Liberty, and a matter of steps from the light rail!
Daniel provided some fun little snacks and beer in the fridge too. What a cool touch!
Neighborhood was fine and quiet, we took a walk to the Dunkin Donuts about a half mile away and felt safe.
Just some other quick points. Total travel time to midtown via the light rail/Path was appx. 45 min. If you decide on ride sharing, a Lyft from the Path station in Newport to the apartment was ~$8, and a Lyft from midtown Manhattan to the apartment was ~$70.
