Charlaine is a fantastic host! The appartement is beautiful and spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant to walk through coming with the light train from Manhattan late in the evening. There is a very good restaurant around the corner and a sandwich store selling also lovely salads. I would highly recommend this place to stay if you want to spend time in Manhattan, but you don't want to stay in the crowded areas. Hoboken is just a few miles away and from there you have a lovely view on Manhattan and you can take the ferry
