It was our first time in Jersey City (and in NYC) and we were so glad to have stayed a little further away from the big city. NYC is huge! So it was great to take a break from the craziness of the city after our long walks there. My family loved the home and we really enjoyed our time there for good conversations and some meals we cooked. The hosts were really great at communicating with us. We didn't interact with them much since we were mostly touring. I would greatly recommend their place though!
