We stayed in Manhattan for a few nights. It was nice to get away from the city & try the subways for the first time. The home was spacious and clean, exact to the picture. The Host even provided toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, & body wash) although we packed our own. There was also a hair dryer.
The full size kitchen is a nice homey touch. A tv would have been nice, but we stayed out all day and didn’t really need it. The WiFi is strong & allowed us to connect for planning daily events. The home has most of the amenities as a hotel, but for an affordable price.
For transportation, I would recommend walking to the Newport Path Station (10min walk, $3.75/p) for the subway to Time Square or World Trade Center from NJ. It’s quick & affordable. For connecting to/from JFK airport, we caught a flat rate taxi from the subway station in Time Square.
