Charlaine is a super host, very warm and friendly person and kindly provided a few groceries to welcome us. She is really exceptional. The apartment is nice and well equipped, has everything you need. It is just over the road from a deli and 10 minutes walk from a large supermarket and food outlets. It's convenient for the PATH train which takes you straight to lower manhattan/WTC or up 6th Avenue to Greenwich or midtown. We never needed to use the subway. The train stop is 20 mins walk or there is a local bus to the station but we always just walked. We really enjoyed this place and would come back again.
