I had a really great experience at Harriet and Harry's. I wanted somewhere quiet and comfortable that was close to NYC and my friends around the Jersey area. The apartment had everything I needed and it was very easy to settle in.

Harriet and Harry are fantastic hosts, very welcoming. There was already some food in the fridge upon my arrival and when my friend stayed for a week they even offered us tickets to a play, which we unfortunately couldn't attend that evening. They're thoughtful and kind hosts, but also don't interfere. I had a lot of privacy and I was very happy there. One of the things I liked about the place is that it didn't feel like I was intruding. It felt like a home away from home.

Uber makes it super easy to get around, but you can very easily walk to the Hoboken PATH station if it's not too snowy outside! There are lots of cafes, bars and restaurants around Hoboken and Jersey City so you don't have to head into the city if you want an evening out. If you're having an extended stay, as I did, there's a cheap launderette two minutes walk around the corner. I'd definitely recommend staying at this apartment if you're thinking of visiting NYC.
