I took an uber from Newark for less than $20. I arrived early and Magda allowed me to stop by to change and leave my bags before check in. I breifly met with Magda. The place was nice and clean and as it was described. The light rail station was a short walk away, which took you to a connection train to get into NYC. It is easy to navigate! The location was perfect, the people on the street answered questions when I asked. Everyone was friendly in the area. I travled alone and it was only my second time visiting NYC. I stayed for 4 days 3 nights.
