    FAQs for Villa 121

    1. Is it easy to get to the major sites in Manhattan?

      The express train is a few minutes away. There are also many buses, and you can walk to places like Museum of the City of New York and Central Park. We are no more than half an hour away from most major attractions. Times Square is only 15 minutes by subway.

      We don't recommend the Supershuttle when coming from the airport, as it takes about 2 hours to 3 hours to get here and drops everyone else off first. You can take it to get to the airport.

      Option 1: Take the Olympia bus to the Port Authority bus terminal at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue (about 35 - 45 minutes depending on traffic).

      Option 3: Take a cab, which can cost from $50 - $70 (plus tolls $10). Be careful with this option, as the cab drivers from New Jersey may not know the City that well and your fare may get even higher. This is a very expensive option.
