Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay Location and property were good, property manager Massiel was super responsive to questions. We came in for a game at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands so we wanted to be close and be able to use public transportation, which we did. About 15-minute walk to train station that will take you all over. ##### Pete Y. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole G.
