I chose this apartment for our family trip to NYC as we needed 3 bedrooms and decent Manhattan hotels redefine the word expensive so an apartment in nearby Jersey City seemed ideal, with off-street parking making the arrival from JFK (we rented a car) stress-free.
Daniel's place is very well located, less than a minute from the HBLR and on a safe block.
Travel into the city is easy, though do your research beforehand as the ferry is a much nicer experience than PATH, even if it is a little pricier.
Check in was easy, and the apartment is as pictured on the site, with large rooms (each bedroom has its own door, with the master having an en-suite)
There's a unit above and one below, so you may hear a little noise (mainly from above) though not enough to disturb.
We were slightly disappointed with the lack of cooking utensils in the kitchen however - a shame really as my Mother adored the range! - with only 2 saucepans, no oven dishes, limited utensils and no mixer, scale etc self-catering really was quite awkward...... shame really, $200 in Ikea could fully equip the place.
British renters should also note that there is no kettle, so making a brew involves boiling water in a saucepan!!
I would also suggest bringing/ buying your own toilet roll, the single-ply stuff in the bathrooms really wasn't up to much!
On the subject of the bathrooms, they were very clean, great showers and water pressure, though no bathmats meant that slipping when getting out of the shower would have been easy!
The sofa was amazingly comfortable (replaced since earlier reviews I should imagine) and the lounge area was a great place to chill out after a long day in the city - no cable TV though, only Netflix which was a shame for me personally as I love to watch local news wherever I'm staying but the others in my party loved the ability to watch a movie on the big screen.
As a final point, I think it would be a great idea if there were more timetables, brochures, hints and tips left in the apartment, for newcomers to the city / area there's no such thing as too much information!
I would happily stay here again, and would recommend Daniel's place to friends and family without hesitation.
