The room Nicholas is offering is a great place to stay while in NYC. You have a great view on the bay area and NJ jarbor as well as the statue of liberty and the Manhattan skyline directly from the bedroom window. The kitchen is well equipped and can be used to prepare meals or have breakfast. Nicholas is using the apartment as well, which led to interesteing and funny chats with him during our stay. The SI ferry is only a couple of minutes away and definitely a great thing to do every morning to get to the city. Nicholas is a great and warm person. He is highly connected in the area and was able to give us helpful advice on what to see and where to eat in the neighborhood of his apartment. He even took us to a couple events such as a local farmers market. For those who want an authentic and affordable stay that has a local touch to it I can highly recommend to stay with Nicholas!
