This was a small place, much out of what i expected. Below is my review:
Room:
Pro -
* Washroom was clean
* bed was made
* sitting/living area and kitchen were clean
* WIFI was great
Cons -
* Room floors were really creaky
* Above tenants are very very very NOISY and they walk really hard and hit walls when you try to sleep, makes things extremely frustrating especially when its warm
* if you use the stove, it is gas operated, after Gas smell everywhere
* AC did not work (one day home temp went to 80C, put the AC on at 71 and nothing happened)
* Bed needs to be replaced, current one is really old and makes a WHOLE lot of noise, anytime you move youre awake because it makes a loud noise
* Window did not have a blind but just a see through cloth so all the light comes in immediately as daylight shines
* washroom is really small so if youre 6ft+ not friendly
* they charge a cleaning fee, but noone comes to clean the room, they only clean it when you leave.
Transportation:
Pro -
Uber, Lyft, Bus easily accessible
Cons -
- Taking a Bus is not friendly it takes 1/2 just to get to the main Grove station, then another 1/2 to get to Manhattan (NYC)
- Bus only runs every 1/2 hr on weekends
- you basically have to take Uber/Lyft every single time you step out of the home to get to Grove station.
- NYC is quite far, let alone Brooklyn/Queens as this is in New Jersey
- Just a reminder New Jersey public transportation system is different from New York so the metro pass here does not work, you have to pay additional ticket fare for bus. For the Path you also have to pay separate but that is throughout NJ and NY.
