Melissa's place was perfectly situated in a quiet part of Jersey City close to restaurants and shops. The waterfront is a short walk away. As other reviewers have mentioned, the apartment is very small, but clean and comfortable. I only spent 1 night there and used the apartment solely for sleeping so it was perfect for me.
You will need to be let into the building by an actual person so bear this in mind when you're planning your arrival. The studio is located inside the building in which Melissa's family lives.
