We booked Johanna's place because we came out to visit our niece and her husband who live in Jersey City. Turns out they were practically around the block so it was an easy walk to them. We were able to have our own space yet still be close.
We have stayed in a number of AirBnBs and Johanna's and Trisden's place is definitely in our top 3. The pictures do not do the space justice! It's beautifully decorated and updated. The kitchen is well-stocked and not with the owner's old pots and pans or dishes but with items that were specifically for the space.
The bed is quite comfortable and we were happy that there was an washer and dryer in the apartment. Nice to be able to pack a little lighter and just do a quick wash in the middle of your stay!
The neighborhood is quite cute, Key Market is 2 blocks away for groceries and many little coffee shops and restaurants to walk to, too. We went into NYC almost everyday and walking to PATH was a short jaunt but even if you are driving in, it's not that far a drive to the Holland Tunnel. Also, Newark Airport is only 25 minutes away.
When we come back east for our next visit, we hope Johanna and Trisden's place is available as we'd love to stay there again.
