Public transportation is available walking distance via bus or train. The city bus stop is directly outside 50 feet away. The train stop is two blocks away.
Newark airport (EWR) in New Jersey is the closest airport with a 30-minute drive. John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport in NYC is the 2nd closest airport with a 40-minute drive. And LaGuardia (LGA) airport in NYC is the 3rd closest airport with a 50-minute drive. All times are without traffic delays. There is public transportation to all of these airports, which will be the less expensive option, but travel time will increase by about 1-hour so plan accordingly.
If driving in a vehicle, my favorite GPS is Google Maps. It gets you exactly where you need to be, and it also gives great suggestions with discovering new attractions such as a parks, restaurants, and entertainment.
If traveling by public transportation, I suggest the mobile app Citymapper. It will tell you step by step instructions on travel by public transportation in any city in the United States.
Also, if you are in a rush and don't have your own vehicle, there's always Uber and Lyft apps you can use on your mobile device.
If a rental car suits you, there is an Enterprise Rent-A-Car two blocks from the apartment.
