1) Close to shuttle across to Port Authority, NYC (you just have to download NJ Transit app to get tickets) 2) Parking spot (not for big vehicles) and great view of Manhatten just half blocks away. 3) Quiet neighborhood (felt safe to walk at night)
4) Bedroom updated (from original pictures) with clean sheets and bathroom towels. May need more blankets. 5) New air-conditioner/fan. 6) Many kitchen utensils and clean refrigerator. 7) Flexibility with check-in and parking times. 8) Emily does not leave you stranded when you're in the city, gives clear direction and replies quickly; also has great tips and recommendations for eating and transportation in the area.
I would've given 5 stars because Emily is a great host. However, there were cleaning and paper & cleaning supply issues that hopefully will be resolved for the next guest.
