This is the best view I’ve ever seen for an airbnb with unfortunate B.S. that comes along with it.
This place is being “illegally” airbnb as Jersey city law ordinance prohibits short term airbnb and leasing management Urby is in a legal battle with the host to remove the listing.
If you book this place, be prepared to be in the middle of that battle - daily threats of inspection (management coming into your airbnb).
The worst incident was day 2 of our stay when we found that our badge wasn’t working at 4pm. The host was non-responsive for hours on end and airbnb was useless circle jerking us to a real resolution. It peaked when I got Urby management involved and they let us into the airbnb in hopes that we would just take our stuff and leave. They were escorting us out. I ended up staying my ground and staying as airbnb failed on getting us a last minute reservation.
The hosts was finally responsive the next day and apologetic & gave us 50% refund.
