Me and my friend Michal came to stay at Charlaine's as a last resort after planning the trip last minute, we couldn't find any sane priced hotel.

We have never done this before, and my freind who is a real "girly-girl" was really scared about the whole thing.
After a spending 6 days at Charlaine we both can only say:

AMAZING!

The location is really good, 7 days, 24 hours transportation to and back from NYC at a single, simple PATH ride, further more, the access to NJ's outlets and Woodbury Common, NY is much simpler than from NYC. The neighborhood is safe (we would sometimes come back at the middle of the night and would walk from train back home with no worries). The house is beautiful, clean, comfortable and has much more than you'll need - No hotel would give a better stay.

But above all, there's Charlaine - she would give the absolut privacy on one hand and will always be there to answer questions, run to get a hairdryer for us, hand us with umbrellas on a rainy day or make sure we'll have juice and pastry for breakfast on the other hand.

If you're having any second thoughts (as we did before) - dont! I know for sure that on my next visit to NYC, I'll stay there
