Nancy is the host & she is amazing. She was always in communication with us prior to & during our stay. She had a welcome gift for us when we arrived. We got in late so she got us a couple pizzas. She didn't want us to have to worry about finding a place to eat that late. We ask Nancy where we could get a view of the NYC skyline, w/o hesitation she showed us. We went to the Waterfront & she told us where to park. I highly recommend going to the Waterfront (2 2nd ST) to get a view of the NYC skyline at night. You can't see Lady Liberty, the Liberty State Park is a 5 min drive; there is a boardwalk there with great views as well. Simply put: Nancy is outstanding and goes above and beyond. She treats you like FAMILY!
This apartment is in Jersey City, NJ which was safe & cheaper alternative than having to stay in NYC. It's a 5 min walk to the light rail (Richard ST-you need a separate card then the Metro Card) which takes you to the Exchange Place where you get on the Metro that drops you off at the Oculus Center (World Trade Center). It's about a 20 min ride into the city. After taking the light rail the first day we chose to drive to the Exchange Place and park there (it was cheaper to park than to pay for a rail pass and metro pass for 7 people). Apartment: Nancy has thought of EVERYTHING! There is WiFi, travel guides you can use on your trip, umbrellas for you to use if needed, she even had metro cards in the desk that you could use to load money on. There were enough towels & wash cloths for everyone. Our family of 7 (5 adults & 2 kids) were very comfortable. There is only 1 bathroom so just make plans accordingly & it is fine. There's a Washer/Dryer in the basement. Just NOTE: it does take quarters ($3.00 per load) so make sure you plan accordingly. Nancy provided all cleaning supplies if needed. She supplied baskets in all the bedrooms w/ items you might need (toothbrush, mouthwash, face masks, etc). The bathroom had a caddy w/ laundry supplies, nail file/clippers, etc. You did not have to strip the beds or wash the dishes like most rentals (just load the dish washer). The beds were comfortable. Nancy really went above and beyond. We will definitely stay here again.
