Manuel was a wonderful host and did not lack in communication. He was quick to answer any questions I had and swiftly addressed an issue that arose during our stay.
That said, our stay did not exactly pan out as expected. If you are planning on visiting Manhattan, it’s worth noting that you must take an $8-$10 Uber to the Path station, and then a $2.50 Path train just to get to Manhattan. From there, you will need to take an additional $2.50 subway to get to your location within Manhattan. The same is true for your return trip. So, transportation costs to/from Manhattan quickly add up, especially if visiting for more than one day.
Additionally, we had limited hot water in the shower on 2/3 nights. It was addressed with the host on our second night but persisted on the third night as well. Manuel was quick to address the issue and even stopped by to check it out. However, the problem persisted.
Lastly, it was clear the floors had not been swept in sometime. Lots of dirt and debris was tracked into the bed on each night. Probably not the fault of the host but of the cleaning crew.
Other than that, it was nice to have a full kitchen, restroom, washer/dryer to utilize if needed. The rate was affordable and location was close to Newark airport. I would recommend this location to a friend if they planned on staying in Jersey City or didn’t mind the cost of transportation to Manhattan. I’m also sure that Manuel will address the concerns I mentioned because his communication and customer service was on point.
