My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Charlaine in Jersey City. Charlaine was an extremely welcome and friendly host. She was helpful with directions, advice, and assistance in getting the TV back in working order after we accidentally pressed a wrong button. My wife was especially delighted with the company of the beautiful cat who lives in the house. The apartment itself is very comfortable although the furniture is a bit spare. The kitchen facilities were excellent, which was important to us as we prefer to cook most of the time. The area is a bit gritty but we felt very safe. Parking was available on the street; it generally took about 4-5 minutes to find a good space as one has to pay attention to alternate side of the street street cleaning. All in all, we were satisfied with our experience. In fact, it was a real bargain.
