My first airbnb experience and what a good one! I felt very welcome and the apartment itself is HUGE! It is exactly like the photos show it and super comfy bed. Plenty of towels and thoughtful touches left by hosts such as bottled water and fruit. I'm travelling alone and I felt safe enough to walk around in the daytime and walked to Journal Square each day to catch the PATH train into Manhatten but I caught the No 6 bus back from Journal Square each night. Once you get off the train go up escalators to the bus terminal and the No 6 leaves from platform C1. The bus stop is only a couple of houses away and/or across the street which was great. The neighbourhood in some directions was a bit dicey then in other directions it was fine but in saying that I never had any problems. Travelling into Manhatten was easy so worth staying in NJ. The building is a great example of a brownstone with beautiful woodwork and 10 foot ceilings. Exchange Place was a great place to spend an afternoon (short bus ride from Journal Square) with iconic views of Manhatten and a nice waterfront setting with boardwalks and plenty of seating to just chill out. I had nice conversations with Maria and her tenant from 3rd floor, Chris, who made me feel welcome but also respected my privacy and I would definitely recomend this apartment to fellow travellers.
