This apartment in Jersey city is nicely located. It's a fresh and bright apartment in a nice and quiet area. It's close to everything you need. A decent grocery store is just a block away, the convinient path train to Manhattan is close. The path train has several stops in Manhattan so it's good no matter where your headed. You can use the same metro card that's on the subway, but remember that the 7day metro card is not valid on the path train.
The host family was really nice and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would recommend it.
