What a wonderful stay @ Tara’s place!
The place looks nicer (and bigger) in person versus the pictures which is always a treat! It has a cozy aesthetic, very spacious, and good water pressure for showering. Not necessarily a con for me, but a bigger tv in the living room might be a good thing to work towards as the living room is fairly big and swallows up the tv. But this is nit-picking at most.
My group spent much of our trip in Manhattan, so Tara’s place was very conveniently located (about 20-30min from most hotspots). Parking was very easy to find on-street a short walk away (I’m talking about a minute to 2min from the Airbnb).
If you have time, I recommend visiting Liberty State Park (less than 10min drive). I went running one morning and it was vibrant but not packed. I also returned at night w/ my group and the sights of both the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline were absolutely stunning! If you do go at night, make sure to come w/ at least another person as I was told it’s not the safest place to be after dark.
All in all, a very memorable trip w/ a pleasant place to come to at the end of the day. I would definitely stay at this place again! :)
