We enjoyed our stay, Dawn and her father were great hosts. Any questions we had, we were able to contact dawn and she would respond quickly. At first we were a little sketch about the neighborhood, but nothing to worry about, we had no problem walking to and from the train station. The train station is about a 10-15min walk but it's not to bad. Like others have said, Manhattan is not around the corner so it will take some time to get there (on the train, it may take up to 1 hr, depending on where you want to go). Dawn was really helpful, we rented a car last minute and she let us park the car In the gate when there was no parking on the street, just for the night.
Her father was so sweet, he was there to check us in and check out. He was so welcoming and it's a plus that he is living downstairs because he always checks up on you and makes sure that everything is great and if you need anything. We also had an early flight and Dawn was nice enough to have her place ready and let us check in early. Dawn also left us some complimentary refreshments which was great and she even came by to greet and welcome us into her home.
Thanks again, we enjoyed our stay!
