Our first visit to the US was extra special because we had our own private space and home base at Patricia's apartment in Jersey City. It was me, my wife and our 2-year-old daughter. Best bed I slept in. Beautiful apartment equiped with everything you need. We had done our shopping for groceries at Stop & Shop which is a 10min walk. We also took the 119 bus from Central and South street which take you to Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan which is next to Times Square ($4.5 per adult). We aso took Uber a few times and was most convenient. I will strongly recommend Uber for your trip from airport and back. Patricia's guide on tourist attractions was very helpful and she readily available on the AirBnB chat app for inquiries. Thanks Patricia
