Harriet and Harry were awesome, and like many others have said, they went way beyond our expectations.

My wife and I came to the USA, not as tourists but to start a new life, so we used their place for a month as a short term apartment until we found a permanent place to move in. During that month, they helped us with lots of tips about how to get what you want in the country, where to get things cheap around New York and New Jersey.

Harriet and Harry showed genuine interest in who we were and what we did, gave us advice when we were in doubt, and joyed with us when we found a good house to move in.

Simply put, our first month in the United States would have been so much more difficult without them.

Getting to the apartment from the airport was simple, thanks to their excellent directions and we got in no problem even though we arrived after midnight, as they had told us how to get the keys.

The apartment itself is as good as all the other reviewers say - nothing to complain about and so much to be thankful for.
You can take my word - trust the photos you see in this listing.

The only downsides to staying there are to do with transport, which is beyond Harry and Harriet's control. The nearest train stations are 20 - 30 minute walk away, which can be tough for daily commute, especially in the middle of the winter, depending on how fit you are. There are bus routes to NYC, but a single ride costs $4.25, which is quite a lot compared to Tokyo or major European cities.

If you have a car, sometimes it can be very difficult, especially in the evening, to find a place to park your car on the street and you could spend 10 to 20 minutes going around the blocks.

Other than that, do we recommend this place to others? No doubt. Would we want to stay there again? Absolutely!
