As a frequent traveller to New York, I have always been a fan of Jersey City – close enough to Manhattan to visit, far enough away to be away from the bustle and the noise.
And just around the corner from the Grove St Path station (meaning direct access to WTC and 33 St lines) and several stores and restaurants, 10 minutes’ walk from a ShopRite supermarket and 15 minutes to the Newport Centre Mall it would be difficult to find a rental better placed than this.
I would whole heartedly recommend this accommodation for a family or a group of close friends.
