Jersey City is a great place to stay while visiting New York. It is so close and easy to get into the city. And Jersey City itself is lovely and safe. Lots of places to eat and drink and convenient with the PATH subway line into Wall Street or 33rd St. Or you can take the ferry across the river. Joseph’s basement apartment has everything you need. To have your own bathroom in the NYC area is an Airbnb luxury. Comfortable bed and the antiquated heating and cooling baseboard system works quite well. I’d definitely stay here again
