Shelly's place was perfect for us. We had a group of 8 (3 generations of family and friends) coming to New York for the 1st time. We really enjoyed the lovely neighborhood, it was quiet and all felt safe. For 1st time NYC travellers took a few days to work out how to navigate the PATH & Subways but distance to either Newport or Grove Street PATH (10 min stroll) gave really good access to Downtown, World Trade Centre or Manhattan.
We loved the area around Grove Street PATH, with some really good restaurants and bars, plus shops for getting any few bits and pieces.
The house was perfect for us, with all bedrooms having comfortable beds and plenty of space. The showers were great and plenty of hot water, even for 8, and was a bonus with shampoo and shower gel provided in all of them.
One of the main reasons we chose Shelly's apartment was the living space. It was great to come home from explorIng the city and chill. The apartment was very well spec'd with coffee machine and kettle (great if your from the UK and want Tea!).
Also special mention to Tony for his excellent communication and general helpfulness. Thank you so much for making our trip so special.
So if you want somewhere that is slightly out of the hustle and bustle but with great local amenities that will give you space, then this is the place for you!
