The description of the house was absolutely spot on including its proximity to Manhattan. We paid $6-7 for an uber ride to the PATH station and then a 10 min train ride right to the World Trade Center station. From there the subway can take you wherever you like. The house itself is cozy and comfortable though the bed might be a little too small for two people, it really depends on the people. Everything was provided for in the apartment.

It is hard for me to the write this part but it is important that I share that we had to cut our trip short by a day because of some unpleasantness in the neighborhood. Being a Baltimore City resident, the incident would not have rattled me too much if I had been on my own but I did not feel safe spending the second night there with my family visiting from India. It is not a neighborhood you would want to be out in very late in the night, again I speak from my experience, both personal and professional, of urban spaces. However, it is equally if not more important to share that Magda, our host was extremely cooperative and responsive and tried her best to resolve the issue, failing which she refunded me a mutually agreed amount for the time I did not spend at the house. I would probably stay there again given how economical the place is and for its proximity to Manhattan but I may not bring elderly relatives with me next time.
