We were 5 people and the house is probably not big enough for so many people. Indeed the condo is quite small.
We wanted a flat so we could arrange dinner and breakfast, unfortunately, compared to Italian markets, the ones in the nearby were quite expensive and not well stocked.
The house is next to a bus stop and the bus service works good, so it was really easy to reach the city.
However the tickets cost $3 or $3,5, and they are not even included in the MetroCard, because nyc and New Jersey are different states.
