This place is completely ideal for a group planning to hang out in and around Manhattan. You can see the Statue of Liberty from the backyard and Times Square is about 5 stops away on the Path ($2.75 per ride) from Newport Station (about a $15 - $20 uber/lyft ride ...but splitting it is only about $3 or $4 per person). The actual space looked EXACTLY like the PICTURES and the beds were SUPER COMFORTABLE. My advice is to not be discouraged by the outside appearance because all and all the place looks nice inside and is super comfortable! There was also a parking spot for our friend when she came to visit so that was a plus. Definitely worth the price and I will recommend to others and definitely will be staying again! Thanks for sharing your space Abe!
