We had a really enjoyable stay at Richard and Roxanne's place and they were very nice hosts.
The apartment is stylish and comfortable, exactly as pictured and very nicely appointed with everything you could need.
As a family we appreciated the games and books available and it was really handy to have a washer/ dryer to use.
We liked the area and it was great to come back to after a busy day in Manhattan. Less than a 10 min walk to Journal Square and really quick journey to WTC or just a few more minutes to 33rd street.
This is a quiet family area so there aren't lots of restaurants and bars right on the doorstep but there are a few places not too far away and the nearby area around Grove Street is fun. There is a supermarket / deli at the PATH and we used Fresh Direct for groceries which worked out well. For us holidaying with our 5 year old means we were happy to order in or cook a meal in the evening so it was perfect for us.
We highly recommend!
