Me and my daughter (12 years old) felt very welcome with Harry and Harriet, our first Airbnb-experience. They really offered us a home away from home. Arriving in Jersey City Heights late the first evening it was a nice surprise to find some juice and beer in the fridge, along with the warm hello in the NYC-area. And to find fresh bread and milk for the morning.

In the appartment we both had our own bedroom, a good shower/bath, a useful new kitchen and a relaxing sitting room. It was our own private space within the private space of Harry and Harriet. There is some distance between Jersey City Heights and New York City, from frontdoor to downtown about 40 minutes all together. Is that an issue or can it even be functional to be away from NYC with all the impressions that it leaves behind? One has to decide for themselves. After a long day in this amazing wonderful big city my daughter and i were happy to take the bus up from Hoboken Station.

A lot of the other things have already been said in other reviews. Harry and Harriet know their way in NYC and they're happy to share whatever they know, as well as all the information about practical things nearby. We had a great time in NYC and Jersey City Heights.
