Maria is very friendly, polite, and an amazing host, she was always reachable through phone even if she wasn’t at home and she went above and beyond to make sure I wouldn’t have any issues in settling down and had amazing time staying there and I wished I had stayed there more. The stay was great, with amazing views in the morning and at night. Can view Empire State Building, other major buildings, distant view of Statue of Liberty on Hudson River (can use a high power lens camera to take that distant shot). The main hotspots at nearby this location including Empire State Building, the edge, time square and all at walking distance. The subway system is all connected and is few minutes away walking distance and can use it to travel anywhere around manhatten incl around Central Park, trade center etc. you don’t need a car to be here and suggest not to have a car as parking will be an issue, will end up wasting time and money on it and can use the subway system. I took airtrain from ewr airport Newark to airtrain airlink and from there I took the train to penn station at track A (total 60-90 mins from airport including waiting for train at airtrain airlink) , and penn station is a mile away from this location, it costed me less than $10 through the train as compared to $60-70 for Uber, Lyft or taxi. The space is very peaceful, secure with security guards around round the clock, lots restaurants around walking distance. I suggest bring your own water if don’t want to drink tap water, though tap water is clean and drinkable. It was a great stay and will come again in future.
