The rest of the property is a building site currently so be prepared for an unprepossessing experience as you enter the block. However, once inside the apartment, you are in an oasis of cool, clean and spacious calm.
Christian was very responsive as a host. For example, when we spotted a mouse scurrying across the sitting room floor on our penultimate night, he was straight round the next day to deal with it and generously gave us a small rebate for that and a couple of other very minor issues as a token.
The location is fabulous. A short walk to lots of restaurants and some food shops; Jersey City is buzzing. The Grove PATH station is 3 minutes walk away from the property and this gets you to downtown or midtown Manhattan very conveniently. Also worth walking south to the marina and Liberty Park if jetlag gets the better of you in the early mornings.
We thoroughly enjoyed our (two) stays and would recommend the property and the host.
