I have stayed 3 weeks in Minhaj’s home about 3 weeks, and I was happy with this choice.
Minhaj is a positive and very friendly host, he is generous for good advices: what is the best way to reach the apartment, where to buy food or order dinner, how to spend time in New York etc.
There is a spare apartment on first floor, 2 rooms are fully allocated to guests, and Minhaj shares kitchen, bathroom and nice backyard with guests. All needed furniture and TV are available in guest rooms, including 2 beds, a small table, wardrobe etc. And the kitchen is spacious, so it is nice to have a breakfast or cook dinner there.
The apartment is well located in Jersey City and it is easy and fast to reach Manhattan by bus to Port Authority Bus Terminal or by path to World Train Center.
The neighborhood is quite and safe.
I would stay again if I needed to rent an apartment near New York next time.
