Stayed here with my 4 children (6, 10 12 & 13). We flew into Newark, which was 1 hour away, I would definately fly into NYC next time to avoid the commute. Richard's brother picked us up and drove us back to Newark. He was very nice. He let us into the apartment and showed us where to get groceries. They were very quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. The apartment looks just like the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and we really enjoyed having separate bedrooms for the kids. The apartment is a short walk to the LIRR. The LIRR takes a bit of organizing as it doesn't run as often as the subway, but once we figured it out we were good. We tried to get back to the apartment before dark as we weren't comfortable having the kids out after dark.
