Wellesley College, Harvard Business School
Consultant
Joyce is originally from Los Angeles and went to Wellesley College before going to graduate school at Harvard. Peter is originally from Shanghai and recently finished graduate school at Yale. We have lived in LA, Boston, Shanghai and now in New York where we both work as consultants. We have a beautiful 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment that you should visit! We had a great experience with AirBnB when we used to live in Boston and we are eager to open up our home now that we have relocated to NYC.
The host canceled my reservation 27 days before arrival.
November 2011The location of Joyce/Peter's unit is ideal for getting into the city. The apartment is perfectly equipped and Joyce/Peter were excellent communicators regarding all aspects of being in their home. I would definately stay again. Cindy
Comfortable bed, clean rooms, beautiful view and kind hosts!
Staying with Joyce and Peter in Hoboken worked out wonderfully for my husband and I. They have a beautiful apartment and our accommodations were very comfortable. The location was very convenient to the city and for us to visit family in the area. We will definitely stay with Joyce and Peter again.
Very clean and nice apartment, felt at home. Peter was nice to help me setup my USA cell phone, he gave fresh linens, towels, and soaps and shampoo, almost felt like in a nice hotel. Bed was comfortable. I travel to USA often and I think after being at so many places, I found the right one very close to NYC. I recommend it to everybody. I'll be back soon too
Great hosts Joyce and Peter! I had a wonderful stay and thank you for all your tips and suggestions that helped me get in and around the place. The location of the apt. is a definite plus - just hop, skip from the NJ Path. From coordination to reception to the delicious muffins, I couldn't have asked for a more warm, friendly and comfy bnb stay. I'd stay there again, of course. Highly recommend. (Waiting for the pic Joyce :)
This was my first experience with Airbnb and Joyce and Peter surely ensured that it was good. My stay with them was very comfortable and they are a very pleasant and a friendly couple. They provided me with a key so that I could come and go as per my schedules. Their apartment is just like it is shown in the photographs and extremenly clean and tidy. It is very conveniently located - a few minutes walk to the Path train that takes you to the city in less than 10 minutes. Hoboken was a nice... More »
It was such a pleasant stay here. It is very convenient and just five minuteswalk to Path train and another 10 mins to get in the middle of NYC! So we enjoyed the city life but also having privately quiet peaceful atmosphere when staying in the apartment. Joyce and Peter were very nice and the apartment is clean with 24-hours security and elevator. This apartment is also very kid-friendly.. Our five-year-old son also enjoyed it. It's totally worth the money paid and we highly recommend... More »
Joyce and Peter's apartment is a great place where to stay . Everything was clean, cozy and comfortable. She had left a key for us so we could drop our suitcases in the morning and start visiting Manhattan which can clearly be seen from her windows ! a great sight. We have decided to keep the address and give it to our friends ! lol
Joyce&Peter are wonderful hosts. We enjoying our stay there. It is so close to Manhattan - we felt we were living there actually. Their place is spotless and very comfortable. We are coming back next year definitely. Ludmil+ Inga+ Daria
We had a great time staying Joyce & Peter's house. Same as appears in the pictures, It's cozy, clean, and comfortable. Great location and great view. Great hosts! Definitely deserves 5 stars!!
We had a great stay with Joyce and Peter! They were wonderful hosts. The apartment was nice, too. And on top of that we had a great view of the skyline of Manhattan. We would definitely recommend this place if you wanna go to New York!!! Thanks so much!
I stayed at Joyce's appartment in Boston for 1 month (nov/dec 2009), and had a very pleasant time. She is very nice and gives you a warm welcome. She invited me to meet her friends at HBS and we cooked together regularly. The appartment was clean and tidy at a good location near the subway.
I enjoyed staying at Joyce's. She's a very nice person, and her place is in a good area as far as locations go. I enjoyed talking to her, also--she's a good source if you'd like to visit Cambridge and Boston.
How neat it is to have someone like Joyce open her home to a stanger and within 5 minutes you feel like family. She has a wonderful, clean, comfortable, safe, well located apt. and she will make sure you are welcome. If ever in Boston again I will surely stay there if her place is still available. (Buy the way, I recommend that YOU stay there too if you get a chance). I was even allowed to attend Harvard with her. Who would ever have believed that I could go to Harvard.
joyce has an awesome place, clean and comfortable with a view. thanks again
Joyce apartment was in a good location, neat and clean! About 10 minute walk from central square station, that can take you into boston and also south station ( where you make the connection to the airport). Thanks joyce :)
great time, great host, great location... i mean, seriously, what else is there? next time i come to boston, i'm staying with joyce.
Joyce is a very warm, welcoming, intelligent, and caring young lady. I highly recommend her apartment as a great place to stay. Everything is neat and clean, as well. Thank you, joyce, for a very nice stay.
A glowing review... Joyce is a fantastic hostess and a great cook. Her apartment was extremely clean. Joyce made me very welcome, to the extent that on my last day we went to one of her classes together. I only wish I had stayed there longer and would most certainly recommend her to a friend. Thanks again Joyce!
3 words for you. Nice, Clean and Comfortable. Thanks Joyce for a wonderful stay!
Joyce was a wonderful hostess with a tidy apt. She had meals available although I already had plans (too bad) & even baked some brownies (yum)! Even considering being quite toasted, the pull-out couch/bed was quite comfy. The view was nice & the neighborhood felt safe even late at night. Her place is close to a Whole foods & just a quick walk from the "T". Joyce herself is very lovely & sweet (thanks for the talk!). I'd recommend her to anyone! Thanks Joyce!
We had a great time staying with Joyce. She was very nice and considerate, and the place was very clean.
We had a wonderful time staying with Joyce. Her hospitality was very home warming and we had a great view river. Thanks again Joyce.
Thanks for Joyce!We have a great day in Boston.
I very much enjoyed my stay with Joyce and found her reliable as well as easy to deal with.
The location of Joyce's apartment is mind-boggling. There are two gas stations, a Whole Foods, and a Rite-Aid literally right next door. Less a leisurely five-minute stroll down the street there is also a Trader Joe's, a Micro Center (an electronics store), and a Starbucks. Furthermore it's situated right on Memorial Drive, a very scenic route which follows the Charles river around the southern Cambridge area and gives immediate access to the Havard and MIT campuses, as well the Back Bay...

Joyce was very nice and friendly!
Loved the apartment and the wonderful hosts. Everything ran so smoothly and all the details were taken care of. Made for a great trip free of any hassles. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning on coming to the area.
Joyce is a great host! The house is lovely and cosy, with a beautiful view of the river and a huge Whole Foods next door. The pull-out bed is big and comfy. The place has everything you might need (microwave, dishwasher, rice cooker, sheets, towels, blankets, shampoo, soap...) and Joyce is eager to share. She even bakes cakes and cookies almost every day!
Comfy convenience is exactly right! A very cute and clean place, with an awesome view on the river, whole foods right down the street and MIT not too far away. Joyce is very gracious and definitely goes out of her way to accommodate her guests, leaves helpful and clear instructions on what to expect. :) Thank you Joyce!
I've known joyce since kindergarten and she rocks. In addition, I was even her roommate when I lived in Boston. she is clean, courteous and most of all fun! she's also an NYC expert so she can show you were to party, where to relax and where to get the most out of your NYC trip!
