It is roughly 11 km from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, 20 km from the Statue of Liberty, 21 km from Ellis Island, 10 km from Prudential Center, and about 27 km from Bloomingdale's, New York University, One World Trade Center, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Best for
This apartment is best suited to larger families or groups of up to 8 who want more space and self-catering flexibility than a standard hotel room offers.

Travel tips
Guests can walk roughly 5 to 8 minutes to the nearby train station in Elizabeth and take a direct New Jersey Transit train into Penn Station, New York City, in about 35 minutes, making car-free day trips into Manhattan straightforward. Newark Liberty International Airport is only about 5 km away, which is convenient for arrivals and departures. Since many Manhattan landmarks like One World Trade Center and Brooklyn Bridge are 27-30 km away, plan for a train or taxi ride rather than walking to those sights.
