The location is very convenient. It is close to a major train station and the Newark airport. A 24-hour Walgreens is across the street, and a grocery store is within walking distance just a few blocks away. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment is a great convenience ... guests may be able to pack a small carry-on suitcase and save baggage fees that many airlines charge for checked luggage. There was plenty of hot water for showers, plenty of towels, and basic kitchen items. The neighborhood is an urban transit hub, rather than a pristine tourist destination. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay while visiting NYC tourist destinations, this rental could be a good match for you.
