Manuel’s place was pretty awesome! It has a great location being a mile away from the PATH station which leads you into New York. I personally enjoyed making breakfast and having it in the TV room because of the great view of the city.
We were only really there to sleep and to get ready in the morning to go and head out in the city. The bedrooms were great and I loved all of the details included. While I personally like a fan or some white noise, the quietness of the room was great for when we came back exhausted from walking 7-9 miles a day. As far as getting ready in the morning, I had brought coffee, powdered creamer, and eggs to make for breakfast and was surprised as how much they already had. I forgot about coffee filters, but they were there. I forgot about seasoning for the eggs, there was some there. It was great!
The shower and all it had to offer was great too. PLENTY of towels for the both of us. PLENTY of shampoo/conditioner/body wash options in case we forgot something. A hair dryer. Great stuff. Bathroom was stocked with toilet paper and there was soap for us to use.
Parking was definitely a hassle for us. Street parking was limited and we weren’t aware of when street cleaning day was so we ended up parking in a garage for our stay. We parked at 801 Pavonia Avenue (Park@Square Ramp) and it was $90 for our entire stay (5 days). This may seem expensive but for me personally, I would have rather paid for the peace of mind and security than worry everyday about parking and when to move the car. And it’s a lot cheaper than a parking ticket.
So, I would recommend Manuel’s place so long as you’re prepared to grapple with parking!
