We arrived in the evening and Gerardo gave us instructions on how to get in and settled. What a great place! My wife and I stayed there with our three little children and it was a great experience. My kids played out in the yard while my wife or I cooked and it was all just so safe. We had been concerned about staying near NYC with such a large family, but staying at Gerardo's made it worthwhile. We went to see Lady Liberty one day and it was super easy to go a few blocks down and take the ferry from the park. A tip I would offer is that the Holland tunnel is super slow to comeback on in the evening, so public transportation is recommended for coming back to Gerardo's place after a day in NYC.
