Charlaine made us feel at home, she was attentive to requests that we asked of her and was very polite, friendly and welcoming. We felt that she was a trustworthy person who respected our privacy and space. Charlaine provided us with an apartment that catered to our needs fully for the week that we stayed there, she provided all the necessities that you would find in your own home, without us having to go to the shops, in fact the only thing we needed to do was to provide food for ourselves, as all the cooking, washing and little touches that you could need were provided for in the apartment.

The area transport connections was as stated in the description, the bus stop number 4 was directly opposite the apartment, outside Puchu's Deli. The bus would arrive on about 10 - 15 minute intervals, it took you to the Grove Street PATH Station in about 10 minutes. Grove Street trains would arrive at about every 5 - 10 minutes, taking you to either 33rd St (Mid Manhattan) or World Trade Centre (Financial District, Lower Manhattan). Within about 20 minutes you could be in Manhattan, from a safe place that had an authentic New York suburban feel to it. We really felt that we were living life as the locals do! Grove Street had lots of grocery stores and restaurants if you chose to stay local. The apartment and the area was safe and secure, local people took a pride in their neighbourhood and we used the public transport system everyday without any problems.

We had a brilliant time in New York, we loved the city, the vibe, the sights and it's friendly people. Truly a wondrous city, a real feast for the eyes and heart, we will definitely be back and stay in Charlaine's apartment, our own little piece of NYC!
