THE SPOT
Worked out perfect for my & mom’s trip to NYC. The value was awesome for all of the amenities offered, including the washer & dryer on site, community pantry, and clean towels & appliances. Place is a bit smaller than pictured, but an accurate likeness to the photos. Clean, no noise complaints, and didn’t see Henry while we were there (which was not an issue for us). Set up more like a boarding house, 5 bedrooms in total: UPSTAIRS 3 rooms with 2 bathrooms (1 with jacuzzi bath, 1 shower sauna), washer&dryer; DOWNSTAIRS 2 rooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen w/ community pantry & fridge, plenty of dish/cookware. Living room is pretty small, but we spent most of our time in the city. Again—very clean place, check in was straightforward, neighborhood felt cozy even on nightly stroll. Good eats going towards Grove St (Check out Barcade & Two Boots Pizza)...area is slowly gentrifying. Can’t beat this value.
OTHER THINGS...
Grove PATH station (which connects to the Subway via World Trade Center) is literally a 15 minute stroll from this spot (perfection).*
Lyft line from EWR to this spot was only about $15.
*If you’re planning on dipping into NYC, just get an MTA card and pay-as-you-ride...SmartLink cards ONLY work for PATH.
