This place is one of the nicest AirBnBs I've stayed in. The space is large and well laid out, with well-done finishes (exposed and painted brick, the wooden shutters on the street-facing windows) and comfortable furniture. The art is lovely and makes the place feel homey and lively. The kitchen is well-stocked and equipped. The bathroom is roomy, clean, with storage areas for one's toiletries, and a window facing the garden. And the garden, with direct access through the kitchen, is wonderful. I even met one of the skunks a few times at night, much to both our initial surprises the first time, but we gave each other plenty of personal space. As a smoker, I greatly appreciated having an outside area to smoke without having to hang out on the street, especially at night. And finding the vacuum cleaner in the closet made my cat-litter clean-up much easier, although I always travel with my own stick vacuum for that purpose.
For public transportation, the Grove Street PATH station is an easy 2 1/2 block walk away. At night, the route from the PATH station is mainly well-lit with lots of people walking around and eating outside at the many local restaurants.
The street parking turned out to be less trouble than I'd thought, although I did have to park five blocks away on my last night, then had to move the car twice on my last morning, as spaces opened up closer to the apartment, so I could load my car.
On parking: you should double-check with the Jersey City Division of Parking (201-547-5538), but what the woman I spoke to with the Division of Parking said is that there are no non-resident visitors' street parking permits offered. One either has to prove that one works in Jersey City to get one kind of parking permit, or one has to have a cooperative Jersey City resident who will get one-day permits for the resident's personal visitors, which can be ordered online but must be picked up in person at the Division of Parking by the resident. Each resident can get a maximum of 5 parking permits every 30 days. Each one-day permit costs $10 plus $0.22 tax. Without those resident-obtained permits, one must find and pay for a commercial parking lot, as most street parking has a maximum of 2 hours. Lucky for me, one of my Jersey City friends was willing to get those resident-obtained permits for me.
I will definitely want to come back and stay at this apartment next time I come to the New York City area.
