Juan was the perfect host. We were 3 ladies travelling on our own and first time visitors to the States.
We checked in rather late the evening and Juan was there to help us and even carry our bags up the stairs for us.
The details shared were spot on. From how to get to the apartment from JFK airport. We got lost a little but the people in the neighborhood were so friendly. They directed us in the right direction.
The neighborhood itself is really nice. Shops just a block away.
Transport was just as easy. Juan mentioned the minibus to us which saved us quite a bit. We used it daily to and from NYC. Whether it was early morning or late at night. The mini busses are always on the road. Juan assured us of this and he was right.
There are busses to the Path trains and busses to Port Authority.
The Path train station is about a 30 mins walk away from the apartment.
Juan is a jewel of information. He shares his own experiences with you and also gives great advice. All his tips have been tried and tested. We never faulted with his advice.
Juan is an excellent host. He was available and responded timeously when we needed to contact him or had any questions before and during our trip. Boy, did we have questions :-)
We would totally recommend staying here if you would prefer to stay out of the concrete jungle. We visited daily without any schlep at all. We would also recommend this place if you are looking for an affordable place to stay but also for the convenience.
But mostly, we would recommend this place because Juan is such a great host.
You will definitely enjoy your stay here.
