Bob and Francois's place is just as advertised. It's very clean, has absolutely everything you might need (why did I bring a hair dryer when they had one there already!) and obvious care and thought has gone into everything. It makes so much sense to rent in Jersey City rather than Manhattan. It's not as expensive but Bob and Francois's place shows they equal Manhattan in what they offer. The neighborhood is gentrifying quickly. Still a very ethnically diverse place thank heavens but also so many really nice coffee shops and new restaurants opening all the time. 5 mins on the train to Manhattan, so convenient. So sleep in Jersey City, walk the streets and see all the great people, all the brownstones and then hop on the train and go to Manhattan whenever you want.
