Arkadiy was a wonderful host. Although we arrived later than we planned to, he waited for us and accommodated us very nicely. There was complimentary food in the kitchen, which was very helpful given the fact that we came late at night and could not buy food until next day. The apartment is very spacious for 3 people (two adults and the kid) and is located close to the light rail station (7-8 minutes walk). The light rail train (1.6$ per adult) takes you to the Newark Penn Station for about 10-15 minutes, there you can take WTC train (2.75$ per person, metro card can be refilled at the Newark Penn Station) that goes straight to WTC subway station (40-45 minutes ride). WTC subway station is close to Manhattan so you can get out and go outside to the street or keep going uptown to 42 street station (Times Square) (2.75$ per person). The overall trip from the house to Manhattan takes 1.20-1.30 hours. There is a grocery store nearby, which has everything you need for breakfast/snack. I highly recommend this apartment for those who want to explore New York and stay away from the big city in the evenings.
