Perfect! Make a right and walk half a block and there goes the board walk and the beach! Make a left and walk 2 blocks and there is the train. During our 3 day stay we went everywhere including Manhattan, China town, little Italy, Ellis Island, liberty island, coney island, Jamaica ave, and liberty ave. Public transportation is the best way to go. You do not need to rent a car at all. Place was clean and comfy and you really don't have a need for anything. Host was very helpful and accommodating especially when I wanted to add an extra day! Perfect location overall. I will be back during the summer months!
