The room including the private bathroom is small. The room faces the street and it can be noisy at times. If you're a light sleeper bring sleeping aides with you (i.e. ear plugs). The house is 5 blocks from Grove Station so take the bus (any 80 numbered NJ transit bus) to get to Fifth street the first time you arrive. Buy a MetroCard and fill it up (it gives you bonus dollars and will help you avoid lineups at the automated ticket terminals).

Everything is expensive in New York City (including water, so bring a backpack and bottles of water that can be refilled, carry snacks with you, they come handy when you need it and can save you some serious coin). Lastly, don't bring/wear heals or any fancy footwear, just super comfortable shoes, because you are going to be walking a lot (have that fitbit ready, cause it's time to burn some calories baby!)
