I stayed in the Jie's apartment for almost a month. The check-in was very easy. The apartment is located at 12 minutes walk from the Journal Square Path Station. The apartment is renovated and very spacious. At my arrival there was a new set of cookware, so I could use the kitchen during my stay.
Unfortunately, I moved out sooner than I had planned (and Jie was very comprehensive in that case), because I hadn't felt safe in the neighborhood. In front of the building door there were often men holding the door open with a piece of cardboard, and smell of weed from the building's basement. Moreover, once I found poop on the stairs (and it wasn't dog poop).
The saddest thing is that, despite having paid twice for cleaning fees because I had to extend my stay two days before changing apartments, Jie responded to my previous review that the apartment was unclean because of my hair in the bathtub and the stuff I had left in the fridge. A very disrespectful and inappropriate attitude, not suitable for a good owner.
Definitely:
- The location is ok for long term, far from NYC for a short stay;
- The apartment is ok, even for 4/6 people;
- The price is very cheap, compared to those in NYC;
- The neighborhood is ok maybe for young people, not for families;
- The owner is understanding, but not very polite.
