Mom and dad stayed at Manuel's place and they loved it. The ap is clean, cozy, and well furbished, and near Journal Sq. Station, from where they could ride the PATH to everywhere around New York and New Jersey. Dulce and Jomara, who live in the ap below, did everything to make the staying as pleasant as possible, and Maria (Manuel's wife) checked in now and then to see if mom and dad needed anything. Beyond hosts, Manny's family is now good friends.
