This place is very clean and decorated tastefully. During the day we felt perfectly safe walking the neighborhood in fact, it was one of our favorite parts...loved the local markets and everyone was very friendly. The host is wonderful about communication and went out of her way to help us have a great experience. Be aware that it is a 15 -20 minute walk to the PATH subway at Journal Square Station into the city. A Lyft or Uber ride was between $6-7 each time. But we also truly enjoyed our walk through the neighborhood when we had the time. PATH is only $2.75 to NYC where a Lyft or Uber is between $30-$40 depending where you are hoping to tour.
