Hina was a very responsive host and the apartment on the inside is as described. She was very helpful when the heat in the apt was not working during our stay. However, If you are looking to stay close to NYC or in the downtown area of JC, I would look elsewhere. This space is very far from public transport and not in a great neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors could be heard very easily, and there is a ton of loud construction surrounding the house. While you could maybe fit the advertised 8 people in this space, there are 3 beds in one room that is facing a noisy street, and one bed in the kitchen/living room, so it would be a tight squeeze.
