Manuel's place in Jersey City is a good place to stay if you are looking something peaceful and a good neighborhood. For the value, it's a good choice. It's an older Brownstone where we had the whole 3rd Floor to ourselves. The 2 bedrooms were beautiful and clean. Thank goodness there was air conditioning in both rooms since it was very warm. They don't offer parking which we knew before we booked, we thought it should not be too hard to find parking in the neighborhood. We learned the hard way, it's very tough to find parking. After a tough couple days to find parking for our car, we realized watching the neighbors there a reason why they had parking everyday. Each side of the street had signs where 2-3 days for a 2 hour block of time you could not park due to the sweeper. The neighbors knew the time when the sweeper would come by in that 2 hour block and park right back in the street after the sweeper was done. We found that in front of the brownstone, there was No Parking on Monday and Thursday from 8am-10am. The sweeper came by around 8:15am to 8:25am. After the sweeper passed by, we joined the neighbors and parked our car right after the sweeper passed. Towards the end of our trip, we had no more issues with the car. Cause after you park it, you don't want to move it again till the signs say you have to move it. That means we just Uber ($10 ride) it to the Hoboken New Jersey PATH ($2.75 one way trip), into New York City. Then purchase the 7-day Unlimited Metro Card for $32.00, to get around NYC. We found this was the easiest and inexpensive way to get around. You never want to take your car into NYC from Jersey. All bridges from the Jersey side to NYC will cost a $15 toll to get to the NYC side. Parking Garages cost average $30-40 to park your car, unless you get there for the early bird special before 8am to pay $20 all day to park your car. Then you spend most of your time dealing with traffic and dodging crowds walking the streets. Again we learned the hard way the first couple days, but after we figured it out, our vacation was awesome. I would stay here again if I didn't have a car rental. Besides dealing with our car, overall Manuel and Yomara were welcoming and offered a great place to stay.
