I booked this place for 32 days so it was kind of a leap of faith, but I can say that it went pretty smoothly. The room is exactly as advertised in the pictures. You get your own private entrance that opens to the house's backyard, which I THOROUGHLY enjoyed during my days there as a morbid tobacco addict. (It's supposed to be a common area but believe me, no one goes there :) so it's practically yours to use) There is a Citibike dock very close, so if you know your way around a bicycle, that combined with the good old PATH train makes it a breeze to get to and from Manhattan any time of the day. (Beware of NJ's world-famous killer potholes) Now the neighborhood is not the flashiest, but it's definitely safe and quite calm. It's actually quite refreshing to return to after a day in the noisy, fuming sea of people that is Manhattan. :) The common areas are regularly cleaned, and the hosts are very professional.
Can't really think of anything negative without being nitpicky. I would recommend this place for all fellow travelers.
(P.S: If you're an old-worlder like me looking at this listing and going "WTF is Hoboken?", it's a very nice district of NJ with a lot of cool stuff, reasonably priced BYOB restaurants which are non-existent in most of NY, and a perfect shoreline promenade next to the Hudson River with the most amazing Manhattan view. I believe most travelers to NY miss this place, but this location makes it very easy to add it to your itinerary and you will not regret it.)
