The Space:
Please keep in mind this is my personal apartment. Most of my personal belongings will be put away during your stay. However, there will be items in the cabinets and fridge. Please feel free to help yourself as most of it is useful during your stay, such as Almond milk, condiments, spices, etc.


The Neighborhood:
Neighborhood: Situated between two beautifully historical churches and close to bars and restaurants, but also on a very quiet street.

History: two major waves of immigration, first of German speakers and then of Spanish speakers, greatly influenced the development and character of Union City. Its two nicknames, "Embroidery Capital of the United States" and "Little Havana on the Hudson," reflect important aspects of that history. Thousands visit Union City each year to see the nation's longest-running passion play and the annual Cuban Day Parade of New Jersey.
