That apartment was a convenient place to discover New York City, only a few meters away from the metro station and the ferry to Manhattan. We liked the layout with the open kitchen and the bright living room. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were very good to accommodate the our 3 people family. Communication with our host was completely electronic, but worked out well. Everything was very well documented. When living in a city don't expect to have a silent neighborhood. New York and so Jersey City are cities that never sleep. But the neighborhood in principle appeared safe also in the night.
