***I was here for 4 months***
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a cost friendly place to stay near NYC- even long term. You can't find cheaper this close to the city, and the subway access was great. However, the PATH does sometimes have unexpected delays, but was generally reliable on weekdays. The unlimited pass is also cheaper than an unlimited metro card. If you plan on going to the city often, I would still be wary of commute time though. Depending on which part of Manhattan you're traveling to, the commute can be far.
Regarding the place itself, the house was very nice and functional, but it was sometimes not clean. However, this was 100% NOT Eugene's fault. Some of the other tenants (also rented through Airbnb), may be messy/lazy, but Eugene is pretty great with controlling the situation. Communication was amazing, and he always answered texts in a timely manner.
Finally, the walls are thin, so anyone hoping to play loud music, etc, is not advised to stay here. Otherwise, it was a great location, great price, and definitely worth it for me!
