This apartment (and the whole building it's in) is all very new and taken care of very nicely. The apartment is only a 5 minute walk from NJ Transit. That is a very convenient and cheap way to get to downtown NYC (Penn Station). The host was very helpful and even flexible with our particular travel plans. The only complaints that we have are: 1) The pull-out sofa bed in the living room is a low quality sofa bed (it's very lumpy and has uneven support). I've slept on others that provided a much more comfortable sleep. The mattress in the master bedroom was very nice. 2) The apartment building is very near a busy road with lots of typical road noise. If you need a really quiet place to sleep, this is not your place. The host provides ear plugs for those that want them. 3) The hot water (provided by the building) is only warm. This made our showers cooler than we wanted. That might be fine in the summer heat, but in the cold winter we were longing for a hotter shower.
