If you are willing to venture off the beaten path a little, staying with Bob, Jersey City is a great option ! His apartment really close to the path is located near intersection that includes store, several good restaurants. The apartment was spacious enough to hold comfortably 3 people and it was very conveniently located just near the path stop.
His appartment is clean, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and wifi available. For those of us not use to sounds of the city at night, the place is very quiet !!!
