Marlene was a great host! I really appreciated her hospitality and warm welcome - she made sure I had everything I needed. Her place was exactly how she described it in her listing. And the fact that the bus stop to get to Penn Station, which would take me to New York, was literally right across the street from her place was very convenient. Even though I was rarely there at times, after coming back from the day's activities, Marlene's place really felt like home. I will definitely stay Marlene's house again when I come back to NJ - in hopes to learn more Portuguese and see her and her nephew again.
