Stay 20 Minutes from Manhattan at Suburban Prices! (#32936)

November 2008

We stayed here for eight nights on our first visit to amazing New York City. It was a good choice as a base from which to explore all that NYC has to offer. Technically, the apartment is not in NYC, it is located in Union City, New Jersey However, there are excellent, cheap 24/7 transport links into midtown Manhatten. The apartment is very pleasant and our room spacious. I found it very convenient to be able to use the laundry. The area is safe and we came and went at all hours with no problems. A supermarket for basic needs is close by. During the first days, we shared the guest bathroom with two other visitors whose stay partly overlapped with ours. The owner, Jonathon, is a really nice guy, very laid back and helpful. We enjoyed the late chats with him and Marie (another guest), which enhanced our visit(would not feature in an hotel or private apartment). Overall a very happy stay, good value for money and I will definitely come back again if I return to New York in the future.
