We were a family of 7 adults (parent in their 50s, 3 kids with 2 partners all between 27-21 years old) and enjoyed 11 days in New York - while our "home-base" was the old townhouse in Jersey City.

It is perfectly situated 5 minutes from the Journal Square Path station. Train rides take between 10 and 20 minutes to the WTC or 33rd street. And if somebody wants to get a perfect view of downtown Manhatten, they should get off the path train at Exchange Place. Shoppers will find their paradise in the Newport Mall with it's cinemas.

The house offers enough space for a party up to 8 people. We enjoyed our evenings either cooking our own dinner in the spacious kitchen or having a final beer or glas of wine after dinner in the city. There's a really big wooden table in the kitchen with enough chairs. The house has two renovated bath rooms and an old one that is waiting for restauration. The house is really very old, but with a lot of charme. We liked it a lot.

Our hosts, Maria and Jesus were very kind, friendly and helpful whenever we had a question. We would like to thank them very much for their outstanding hospitality.
