Transport:
1) To get to NYC, Walk to Grove station. Take the path train at Grove Station to the city. Path trains run 24hrs. To connect in the city you will need to take the Subway trains. Path and subway trains run 24/7 and you can use the same ticket for both train systems.
2) Take a bus to the city, the bus stops on Communipaw street (which is only 2 minutes walk from the house). You will need to buy a bus ticket in advance.
3) The light rail train (local jersey city train) takes you to most path stations ‘to connect’ if you don’t want to walk to Grove. The nearest station is Liberty State Park station for the light rail that takes you all over jersey city.
Location: Magda’s house is close to Liberty State Park (10 minutes walk) and once you get to the park it takes a few more minutes to get to see the Statue of Liberty. You can also walk to Jersey City centre. You can walk to Jesery City waterfront (it’s a long walk, but it’s safe and enjoyable). The house is in a safe area with small grocery shops, coffee shops, restaurants, hair salons and pharmacies in almost every corner.
Helpful: Magda and her husband have a very calm nature about them, which make is easy to have a conversation about local information. Their willingness to help is what made our stay much more enjoyable.
Check-in process and amenities: The check-in process is self-help and very easy. The attention to detail of everything in the house is what makes us want to book this house every time we visit New York City. The gadgets are modern and easy to use. There is no TV though but the WIFI is very good and fast. The aircon, the dishwasher, microwave oven and all other gadgets work very well.
Cleanliness: Magda’s house is very clean. The bedding was crispy fresh and the beds laid perfectly. There were even cleaning detergents left for us to use.
