We have just returned from a six night stay in Dana and Guy’s super basement apartment. Our hosts were amazing, in particular Guy who really couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful with advice on travel, restaurants and places to go.
Our flight was late but Guy kept in touch by text and was waiting at the door to greet us from our cab as we arrived.
The apartment is in a quiet residential street and is a great place to unwind after a busy day in New York City. We were there during a heatwave of 90+ temperatures but it remained cool and comfortable for sleeping. There is the option of using the air conditioning if things get too frazzled.
The apartment is comfortable and well equipped with everything that you may need for your stay. There are laundry facilities and a dishwasher as well as a fridge, cooker and microwave oven.
We used Uber cabs at about $6 a ride to get us to and from Grove Street station on the PATH system. Two stops to the World Trade Centre and just a few more to Midtown New York.
Downtown Jersey City is really nice with a pedestrianised section around Grove Street station where there are loads of bars and alfresco eating places. We preferred eating there in the evenings rather than in New York. Apart from anything else the prices in Jersey City are significantly less. There are also a couple of very good wine stores in that area.
All in all we rate the apartment and the location as excellent. Being in New Jersey presents no inconvenience for a stay In New York as it is so handily situated.
Our only problem, as first time visitors, was in getting to see everything on our hit list (we failed) and we are looking forward to our next visit.
Without hesitation we would recommend this excellent apartment and it’s equally excellent owners to anyone contemplating a trip to the Big Apple!
