If you want the true experience and the BEST host then this is the place! Even if you are going to the city it really is a great place to stay. The commute is longer treading between Jersey and New York, but it is worth it. Amgad was truly the best host I have stayed with. He couldn’t have made himself more available to us. We are from Arkansas so I reached out to him A LOT. The beds reminded me of Goldilocks. Different firmness and we all slept so comfortable. There are stores 1 min walking distance for all your needs. The neighborhood is very diverse and welcoming. Great place to stay!!
