This is more like a small hotel than an AirBnB – it feels very anonymous. There are a couple of rooms in the house and you share the bathrooms. That being said, this is not necessarily a bad thing. We have never encountered any of the other guests and the rooms feel very private. The bathroom seems to be cleaned quite often. The backyard is a nice bonus.
Public transport into town and back is very convenient. The guesthouse is not far from the "Journal Square" station where busses depart to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and the Path trains quickly bring you to the World Trade Center and other Manhattan locations.
Elisabeth was very forthcoming considering our check-in time. We were able to drop off our bags before the official check-in time.
