Costa’s place is a great value for the cost, especially if you are gonna primarily take the train/bus. I live in NYC, so while my family was visiting, we primarily took public transport. However if you’re not familiar with NYC public transport and are not willing to spend some extra time navigating it, then Costa’s place into Manhattan on the east side via Uber/Lyft XL will be about $20-40 at least as of Feb 2023. (We were 5 people total, so it would be cheaper for fewer people). With the couch, TV, and kitchen, we were able to spend a few comfortable nights in after long days of walking. McDonald’s nearby on the way to the bus for morning coffee too. Overall enjoyed our stay and would recommend for small groups/families!
