The host was amazing, Arkady is very very flexible with arrival and departing time. The place was very clean. Me and my girlfriend stayed at the premise for a week and the commute to nyc was was about $10 one way, took about 45min. If you were to travel by car the toll fee would be much higher and the also the amount of time wouldn't be much different. I highly recommend Arkady place if you are looking for a place to stay and your main attraction is nyc.
