We stayed for 5 days in New Jersey at Stephen's place. We had a wonderful time and he was a great host. By the end of the trip, he helped us get to various places without needing our GPS. The house is as described and we felt very comfortable staying in the neighborhood. Would definitely stay at Stephen's place again, and would recommend it to anyone who likes character in a house. Subway to New York through Journal Square can be walked in 20 minutes, and is definitely the way to travel to see the big Apple.
