Mila’s home is lovely and Mila is an excellent, gracious hostess. Her detailed suggestions for transportation to different parts of Jersey City and Manhattan were extremely helpful. The home itself is charming, clean, and perfect for 3-4 guests. The beds are very comfortable!
We felt very comfortable walking to both Liberty State Park and the light rail stations during the day. As Mila mentions in her description, Lafayette is a gentrifying part of Jersey City, so there are many homes being renovated in the area. At night, while still generally safe, I recommend using Via or Uber to get around, as we encountered some loiterers who were forward with my college aged daughter. No need to rent a car, though. Plenty of easy and affordable transportation options.
Shopping in the immediate area is a little limited, but downtown Jersey City is a quick Uber ride.
My adult kids and I had a wonderful time exploring Manhattan and adjacent Jersey, and Mila’s place was a great, affordable option to return to everyday.
