Juan and April are wonderful hosts. I recently stayed at their arbnb and it was my very first time doing so. I would normally stay at a hotel. My friends all said how easy and economical it was and so, I decided to try it out. I picked Juan and April's because of their reviews and I am glad I did. Juan was their to greet us and always very accommodating. Their place was very comfortable and spotless. The location is perfectly located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, that offered all the amenities one would need- public transportation, eateries, grocery stores, cafes, etc. Everything was perfectly located within walking distance and taking the bus and train was not difficult at all especially once you downloaded the New Jersey transit app - which allowed you to create an account with your credit card for multiple uses and just present the prepaid pass to the driver. Super easy! Besides it always gave you route times and expected delays. Loved it. We also rented a car and I must say not difficult at all to drive around the city. Traffic is not as bad as one would think and mind you I know about traffic being that I am from Chicago. We were in town for one of the city's big events - New York Marathon. There are parking meters throughout New York and you can park for two hours maximum for $8 some are less. We were able to have lunch in Little Italy, explore in China Town, and shop in Soho. I would recommend it. Overall the six days I spent in New York were memorable but it started and ended with us staying with Juan and April. I felt like I never left home. Thank you.
