We stayed in Beata's apartment for a little bit more than a week and we enjoyed every day of it! It is a big, tastefully decorated apartment with a great view of the One World Trade Center. Everything was exactly as described, clean and especially in a safe neighbourhood.
Although we didn't get to personally meet Beata, she was always there for us and very helpful, thank you!
When travelling to Manhattan on a daily basis it is important to consider you have to use PATH to cross the Hudson. For both, PATH and Metro you require seperate tickets if you are planning on using a unlimited ride Metro card. You could also use the more expensive ferry.
For grocery shopping you can either go to Hudson Greene down the street, or the less expensive ShopRite, which is just a 15 minute walk away.
